Johannesburg:
India started the second Test against South Africa by winning the toss but had a struggling day as the South Africa pacers left the Men in Blue tottering at 53 losing three wickets.
India Test skipper Virat Kohli suffered an upper back spasm ahead of the game, leading him to be ruled out and KL Rahul holding the commands for the visitors.
Though, India is currently in a tricky position as three of the batters walked back to the dressing room with two of them scoring 0 and 3.
Mayank Agarwal, one of the openers, is the highest scoring batters so far with 26 runs as out-of-form Cheteshwar Pujara once again failed to role and got dismissed by Duanne Olivier with extra bounce that led to the ball ballooning towards the point where Temba Bavuma took a regulation catch after 23.3 overs.
Ajinkya Rahane, another out-of-form batter, walked to field just to go back the next minute as Olivier got him out for a golden duck.
Rahane became the 50th Test scalp for pacer Duanne Olivier leaving India tottering at 49 for 3.
India somehow scratched their way to the 50-run mark scoring 52 for 3 in the first session of the opening day in Johannesburg with captain KL Rahul batting on 19 and Hanuma Vihari on 4.
