However, on the 5th ball, Rabada bowled a full length ball to Rohit which came on the middle stump, the angle of the ball was inside, which Rohit tried to defend, but the ball swung outside and Rohit was bowled.

2. Ball hit Shardul's helmet, batted despite injury
On the first day, India's number eight batsman Shardul Thakur was looking in good form, but the third ball of the 44th over hit his helmet. He was hit on the head by a bouncer from Gerald Coetzee. Shardul appeared to be in trouble after being hit by the ball on his helmet and he underwent a concussion protocol, in which the medical team observed his injury. During the protocol, swelling appeared on Thakur's head.

Despite the injury, Shardul started batting again. In the 47th over, Kagiso Rabada's ball also hit his hand. This time also the medical team checked him. Shardul started batting but was caught out on the very next ball.

3. Rahul scored a century by hitting a six
Rahul was the only Indian to score a century in the match. He completed his century by hitting a six. On the second day, playing at 95 runs in the 66th over, Rahul, on the last ball, moved forward in front of Cootzie's fuller length ball and hit a six on the leg side towards deep midwicket. Along with scoring 101 runs, he scored the 8th century of his Test career. Rahul had also completed his half-century by hitting a six in the same innings.

4. Virat adopted the trick of bails for the wicket
Virat Kohli adopted a unique trick and got the team a wicket. On the second day, between the 27th and 28th overs of South Africa's innings, Kohli went to the striker's end to change the bails during the change in fielding position. He interchanged both the bails of the batsman's end stumps. After this, in the 28th over, Bumrah's first five balls hit four dots and one four. However, on the last ball, Bumrah bowled a length ball to Tony DeGeorge which hit the outer edge of his bat and went into the hands of Jaiswal in the slips and gave the team a wicket.

Kohli did this after being inspired by England's fast bowler Broad. During the second Test of the Ashes in 2023, when Marnus Labuschagne was on 81, Broad swapped the bails, and Labuschagne was caught behind on the very next ball by Mark Wood.

After that the second ball was defended. After which Yanson said something while pointing his finger towards Rahul, Rahul smiled looking at Yanson and did not say anything to him. The video of this incident is going viral on social media and fans are praising KL Rahul. KL Rahul was playing on 70 runs till the end of the first day's play.
