Interesting day for India. Good start to a South African tour, dont think this has ever happened in my living memory.
Despite my obvious dislike of KLR, the man has done a good job. What definitely clicked for him was the opening partnership with Mayank, a player, who has partnered him many a time and thereby the understanding between the two.
The onus though would be on the likes of Pujara, Kohli and Rahane. Kohli looked good before he got out and that's something that may rankle him in this series. Of it does, be prepared to see a new captain leading India in the next series. Rahane and Pujara, probably their last chance with the likes of Shreyas and Vihari breathing down their necks.
Decent Day 1of the the Boxing Day Test. We've had such days in the past, only to throw it away later. Hoping this doesn't happen this time round.
