India and South Africa are at the moment concerned in first of the two-match Test sequence on the Supersport Park in Centurion. The guests have been invited to bat first who posted 245 runs on the board because of KL Rahul‘s distinctive ton in testing situations. This is the primary time in Test cricket that he’s taking part in as wicketkeeper-batter and has shined instantly with the bat.
Meanwhile, Rahul did the unthinkable with his century in Centurion as he grew to become the primary participant ever to smash a 50-plus rating throughout all three codecs as a wicketkeeper-batter. He performed his first match with the gloves in hand in January 2020 in opposition to Australia in an ODI scoring 80 runs. He adopted the great work in the T20I as properly smashing 56 runs in opposition to New Zealand and has debuted as Test wicketkeeper with a century on the Supersport Park.
No different wicketkeeper had achieved this feat earlier than KL Rahul in cricket history whilst he bailed the Indian crew out of bother after being 121/6 at one stage. In the context of the match, Rahul’s innings was huge for India given the situations being conducive for bowlers. He shepherded the tail fantastically including 43 runs with Shardul Thakur, 27 runs with Jasprit Bumrah and 47 runs with Mohammed Siraj earlier than getting out on 101 runs.
As far because the match is anxious, no different Indian batter aside from Rahul may even cross the 50-run mark with Virat Kohli being the very best scoring 38 runs. Perhaps, India have been struggling at 24/3 at one stage and if not for the drops of Iyer and Kohli, the guests would’ve discovered themselves in plenty of bother early on Day 1.Â
