South Africa vs India: In the ongoing third and last test match at Newlands, Cape Town, Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first. However, Indian openers couldn't justify this decision by Kohli. Both the openers managed to stay at the crease for the first 10 overs but both KL Rahul & Mayank Agarwal displayed a very cautious approach while facing the African bowlers.
Team India had already faced 24 consecutive dot balls before losing KL Rahul. South African bowlers were constantly troubling KL, especially Olivier. In the end, Duanne Olivier succeeded in getting the important wicket for his team.
