At the end of the first day of the Centurion Test, Team India’s score stands at 208 runs for 8 wickets. The Indian team’s hopes rest on KL Rahul. The question now is, how much of a score can be considered good for South Africa on this wicket? However, this question was answered by former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar believes that if the Indian batsmen manage to score 20-30 more runs on the second day, it will be considered a good result on this pitch. This means Team India needs to score around 230-240 runs, according to Little Master.
At the same time, former South African Shaun Pollock also agreed with Sunil Gavaskar’s words. He said that KL Rahul could prove to be an important link for Team India on the second day of the Centurion Test. If the Indian team can score 50-60 runs, South Africa’s problems will increase. He said since it had rained, it would not take time to change the condition of the field after the sun came out. Around 250 runs can be defended on this pitch.
We tell you that KL Rahul returned to the pavilion undefeated on the first day. KL Rahul bowls after 70 runs. At the same time, India’s score is 208 runs for 8 wickets. Earlier, South African captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and decided to field. Team India, who came to bat first, did not get off to a good start. Indian captain Rohit Sharma was eliminated after scoring five runs. Even after that, Team India’s batsmen continued to approach the pavilion. However, KL Rahul kept one wicket. Thus, the Indian team managed to cross the 200-run mark.
