After losing the first Test in Cape Town narrowly, the pressure had intensified on Kohli & Co. to register a win in Centurion. A scenario which is pretty common in Indian cricket happened once again, where all the batsmen gave up and there was just one man standing alone in the battlefield.

In reply to South Africa‘s 335, Murali Vijay tried his best to block one end. Kohli from the other end, was at his fluent best and was playing on a completely different pitch. This innings epitomized the class he possesses and the technical magician he is.

The rest could only contribute in bits and pieces, but the captain led the ship from the front and ensured it didn’t sink way too soon. With some great support from Ravi Ashwin, he completed a classic Kohli hundred, proving to the world that there’s nothing on the cricket field he cannot achieve.

But yet again, this game didn’t go in India’s favour. An AB de Villiers masterclass in the second innings tore the Indians apart and the visitors eventually succumbed to a 135 runs defeat.
