India and South Africa were engaged with each other in the first Test of the three-match Test series which is going on at the SportsStar Park in Centurion. Having a look at the match, Virat Kohli, the skipper of the Indian cricket team has surprisingly won the toss and decided to bat first even after witnessing the playing conditions and behaviour of the surface.

Team India opened the innings with the Karnata based batters, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal as they provided the expected start for the team as they went on to dominate the opposition bowlers all around the park.

Both of them added 117 runs for the opening wicket partnership and also completed half-centuries each. Despite getting a good start to the innings, Mayank Agarwal who was assisting the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team, KL Rahul, had to walk back to the dressing room after being dismissed by Lungi Ngidi for 60 runs. 

After the dismissal of Mayank Agarwal, recognised as "The Wall" Cheteshwar Pujara walked in at number three, as usual. However, he bagged a golden duck after being dismissed by Lungi Ngidi off the first ball he faced. It was a great disappointment for the right-hander and the fans were also not happy with the wicket of the classical batter.
