IND V SA: Light Rain At SuperSport Park Causes Delay In Day-2 Play
SuperSport Park: The Day 2 of the first Test between India and South Africa faced a delayed start due to light rain at the SuperSport Park here on Wednesday. With drizzle stopping, play began at 1:55pm India time, which translates to 10:25 am local time.
Previously, bad light followed by rain meant day one’s play was limited to 59 overs, with India at 208/8. On day one, there was plenty of drama as South Africa’s fast-bowling spearhead Kagiso Rabada took 5-44, his 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
But India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul led India’s charge with a rearguard knock of 70 not out off 105 balls, hitting ten fours and two sixes. Batting for just the second time in the middle-order in Tests after nine years, Rahul mixed caution and aggression well enough to counter the bounce and swinging ball while pouncing on the loose deliveries.
