Indian skipper Rohit Sharma had a disappointing outing in the first innings of the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. He was gone for just 5 runs while trying to attempt a pull shot of Kagiso Rabada but ended up giving a catch to Nandre Burger near the boundary line. He was the first batter to lose his wicket on day 1 of the Test match.
