Other than Kohli, Murali Vijay and Ravichandran Ashwin were the other batsmen who chipped in with important contributions off the bat. The other Indian batsmen yet again succumbed to the hosts' pacers.
India conceded a lead of 28 runs to South Africa. India are already 0-1 down to the hosts after their loss at Newlands in Cape Town in the first Test.
