South Africa vs India 2018: 1st Test, Day 1 - 5 things we learnt from the day

#1 India's top-order collapse

Kohli once again appeared vulnerable outside his off-stump

Although the ball did very little for the Proteas as against what happened for Bhuvneshwar Kumar earlier in the day, the Indian top order found themselves in a soup courtesy some horrendous shots. Vijay was the first to go, nicking Philander to gully while Dhawan followed soon, going for a half-hearted pull and skying a return catch to Dale Steyn.

The big fish was, however, Virat Kohli. The Indian skipper and Cheteshwar Pujara was India's best bet at getting back into the game. But Morne Morkel sent Kohli back to 2014 and his horror tour of England by getting him to edge a sixth stump line delivery to the keeper.
