Virat Kohli was again India’s lone warrior amid destruction as the two-time finalists found themselves in trouble in the first Test against South Africa in Centurion on Boxing Day. India were reduced to 24/3 with the debutant Nandre Burger running through the top-order before Kohli along with Shreyas Iyer gave his side some respite from the procession after losing the toss. The duo took India through to lunch without anymore hiccups as they stitched an unbeaten 67-run stand in the first session with Kohli looking solid as usual.
