Virat Kohli departs after 143-ball vigil
Virat Kohli faced almost 350 balls and scored over 100 runs. Not a disappointment by any means, he looked focused throughout the Test match. Great resilience shown by King Kohli.
Kohli, who was in search of his 71st international century, looked determined and played within the three stumps, leaving everything away from the body. Rishabh Pant, on the other end, played a solid innings that allowed Kohli to operate according to his pace.
The only ball that Virat Kohli (29) played away from his body found the edge of the bat before Aiden Markram produced a stunning catch at the slip cordon. It was Lungi Ngidi, who got the better of the Indian captain.
However, Rishabh Pant continued the onslaught to take Team India's lead close to 200 runs. The youngster, who was under pressure after a couple of low returns, produced a counter-attacking knock.
At the time of writing, Pant is unbeaten on 89, putting together a knock of five boundaries and fours sixes to take India's score to 184/8.
