India vs South Africa 1st Test Highlights: Play has been called off due to persistent rain on Day 2 of the ongoing first Test match between India and South Africa in Centurion, on Monday. Without a single ball being bowled, KL Rahul (122*) and Ajinkya Rahane (40*) will resume batting for the visitors on Tuesday. India had reached 272 for three at Stumps on Day 1 after a solid opening start by Rahul and Mayank Agarwal (60). Despite the early departures of Cheteshwar Pujara (0) and Virat Kohli (35), Rahul and Rahane built an unbeaten partnership to build stability for India. Rahul also became the first Indian opener after Wasim Jaffer to bag a Test ton on South African soil. (SCORECARD)
Here are the Highlights of India vs South Africa 1st Test Match Day 2 Straight From SuperSport Park in Centurion
- 16:05 (IST)Raining AgainIt has started to rain again. That kind of a day! The covers are back again and the chances of having an inspection at 4:15 IST are gone now. In fact, we hate to say this but chances of play also look slim now. One positive thing though (That is if we are allowed to count it as one) is that the rain has not been heavy. It shouldn't take the groundsmen long if it stops raining. IF... that is the keyword here.
- 15:14 (IST)Rain Playing Hide And Seek!Okay, this is comical now! The pitch inspection was to take place at 11:30am local time (3pm IST) but rain returned to scupper any chance of that happening. With an early lunch taken, we are getting news that the rain has stopped. Rain gods are playing hide and seek now!
