India vs South Africa, 3rd Test, Day 1 Highlights: South Africa lost their first wicket early as Jaspirt Bumrah removed their skipper Dean Elgar minutes before Stumps on Day 1 of the third Test at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. At Stumps on the first day of the final Test, South Africa were at 17/1, trailing India by 206 runs. Earlier, Indian captain, Virat Kohli was dismissed on 79 as the visitors suffered yet another batting collapse in the ongoing Test series against South Africa. Kohli was the lone fighter for India as the touring side was bowled out for 223 runs in the first innings. Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant got good starts but they failed to convert them into big scores. Pujara scored 43 and stitched a for a 59-run third-wicket stand with Kohli while Pant added 51 runs with the captain for the fifth wicket. However, it was a poor show from Ajinkya Rahane yet again as the middle-order batter added only 9 runs to the Indian total. For South Africa, Kagiso Rabada picked four wickets, Marco Jansen dismissed three Indian batters while Duanne Olivier, Keshav Maharaj and Lungi picked one each. (SCORECARD)
