KL Rahul and Kagiso Rabada were the unchallenged heroes at SuperSport Park on Tuesday, the former keeping India in the hunt with a classy unbeaten half-century after the latter had put on a fabulous show of fast bowling on a helpful surface with his 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
Day One of the first Test on Tuesday, truncated as it was, made for absorbing viewing. Play started a half-hour late due to wet spots and ended early due to first bad light and then the predicted rain, ensuring that only 59 overs of play was possible. But in that period, the game had progressed rapidly, India wending their way to 208 for eight after being put in by Temba Bavuma.
