Indian skipper Virat Kohli with his bat score 21st century in the test against South Africa. Virat Kohli  took the fight back to South Africa. A very confidence-coated 103 not out that has given India a sliver of hope, but he will rue a lack of support. Vijay's frustrated dismissal at a time when batting conditions had eased out ended a stand of 79 for the third wicket and was followed by the exits of Rohit Sharma and Parthiv Patel. India will need Kohli and Hardik Pandya to stage a partnership of epic proportions, but it fail as Hardik Pandiya unfortunately runout dismissal. His dismissal come out in the 68th overs when Pandya suffers a rather unfortunate run-out at the start of the over, failing to ground his bat while being sent back to the striker's end by Kohli, with Philander's throw from mid-on being spot on.

Ashwin, the new batsman, suffers a blow on his bottom hand in the third delivery that he faces, needing some spray. Gets a thick outside edge off the penultimate delivery that flies over the slip cordon for a four. Takes a single off the last ball to retain the strike. This is Virat 21st test century and second against South Africa in South Africa. India is still struggling in the second test. India score 227 for 6 wickets.
