CENTURION - Opening batsman KL Rahul gave India an ideal start in their quest to win a Test series in South Africa with a solid century on the first day of the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centuri
on on Sunday.
It was only a temporary setback for the tourists, however as Rahul shared a third wicket partnership of 82 with Kohli before he and Ajinkya Rahane added an unbeaten 73 for the fourth wicket. Although they lost that series 2-1, India went on to achieve victories in Australia and England, leaving South Africa as the only major cricket-playing nation where they have not yet triumphed.
