    "editor1": "<p><strong>SA v IND:<\/strong> Openers - KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal - began the test series with a perfect session as India scored 83 without any loss at lunch in Centurion.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Indian captain, Virat Kohli, won the toss and opted to bat first under overcast conditions. His call has turned out be to a good one so far as the openers have responded well.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both Rahul and Mayank were watchful and left anything that was on a length outside the off-stump. As the batters showed discipline against length, South African bowlers had to try different tactics which the openers targetted but with soft hands.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mayank, in particular, looked solid with his hand-eye coordination to put the bad balls to the boundary. Debutant Marco Jensen did create a massive chance when he got the edge off Mayank&#39;s bat but Quinton de Kock couldn&#39;t grab it.&nbsp;Rahul was a bit more on the defense. Both Karnataka statemates had a good understanding as they ran well between the wickets.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scorecard:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India - 83\/0 in 28 overs (Mayank Agarwal - 45*, KL Rahul - 29*)<\/p>\r\n",
