Virat Kohli rewrote history as he led India to their maiden Test win at Centurion in South Africa. First for any Asian team there. As India chase for their first-ever Test series win on South African soil, Kohli and co kicked-off their campaign on a strong note and went to secure a resounding 113 runs win in the opening encounter. A phenomenal show led by KL Rahul with the bat and Shami and Bumrah with the ball.
Great victory for Team India. They will be a hard team to beat this series. South Africa will have to play out of their skins to do that. A perfect way to end the year and get into 2022. In the recent past, ‘India breached the fort in Gabba, Lordās , Oval and now Centurion. It all started with the amazing fight to draw at Sydney.
After India’s emphatic win, the team currently are in the fourth position with 54 points on the World Test Championship points table. India will look to carry forward the momentum when they take on South Africa in the second Test starting from 3 January at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
