LIVE UPDATES – Ind vs SA, 1st Test, Day 1: Kohli and Gill rebuild India at Centurion

LIVE UPDATES – Ind vs SA, 1st Test, Day 1: Rohit Sharma-led Team India will take on Temba Bavuma’s South Africa in the first Test of the three-match series at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on December 26. However, rain and bad weather are likely to play spoilsport during the match. The weather forecast has predicted rain showers for all five days of the match. The series is crucial for the Indian side as they have never won a red-ball series against Proteas and are keen to change that.
