| South African player celebrating after winning the 1st Test vs India in Cape Town
India the No 1 Rank Team in Test Cricket in the World just got beaten by South Africa at their Home. While India is playing overseas against the top 6 Rank Team after a while, And South African has shown them why they are the dangerous team in the world right now. With the four great pacers playing the game for South Africa like Styen, Morkel, Philander, and Rabada.
Vernon Philander produced an outstanding piece of seam bowling - his career-best figures of 6 for 42 - giving South Africa a 72-run win and the 1-0 series lead.
Indian team batting was collapsed and the bowling attack of Indian Cricket Team in South Africa was outstanding compared to the batting, so the hope in this series for Indians is still Alive.
India is Currently the No 1 Rank Team in Test Cricket Right now but the Records in the overseas Test of Indian Cricket is not that much good Since 2011
India in Tests outside Asia since Jan 2011 (excluding West Indies):
D.L.L.L.L.L.L.L.L.D.L.L.D.D.W.L.L.L.L.L.D.D.L Played :23 Won:1 Loss:16 Draw:6
India has to win the 2nd Test to be alive in the game to win this series.
Kohli, losing captain: If we had taken our chances in the first innings, even after them counter-attacking, we could have kept them to 220 which would have been ideal. We're not a team which thinks of what-ifs though. Losing wickets in bunches is something we have to plug in. We were pretty much in the Test match on all days. We were thinking 250-275 (the target) if they play well. To restrict them to 210 was an outstanding effort. We needed someone to get a 75-80. Credit to them, they were a bowler short and still bowled their heart out. We need to rectify our mistakes also. Mini collapses in both innings is something we have to think about, how to string in partnerships.
