South Africa won the toss and put India to bat first as Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the innings for the hosts before the latter was dismissed by Nandre Burger. However, Kohli and Rohit put up an astounding 136-run stand for the second wicket. Rohit added 57 runs off 51 deliveries before falling prey to Marco Jansen, while Kohli went on to make a century.
