were restricted to 208 for 8 in 59 overs by South Africa on a truncated first day of the opening Test at Supersport Park here on Tuesday, and the awkward bounce became the visiting team batters바카라 undoing.

바카라It swung away late,바카라 Rabada바카라s smile said all about the delivery which deviated and took the outside edge of Kohli바카라s bat even as the Indian tried to play for inswing.

바카라For some reason, most of the times he played and missed, he covered the channel. With him, you always need to be on. I was glad that I could get that fainty (faint edge),바카라 Rabada said.

There are days when the process that one follows gives immaculate results. Rabada had one this day. 

바카라(Such) days happen in cricket. This was my day. Pretty happy with the way I bowled. India have quite a bit of experience and if anyone told us that it will be 208 for 8, we would have taken that before the game,바카라 said Proteas pace spearhead.

He also praised KL Rahul바카라s attritional batting.

바카라His (stroke-making) options were good, he defended well, always someone stands out and he was that batter today,바카라 he added. 

The Proteas pacers bowled 65 deliveries on the leg-stump channel with a leg slip in place during the first session.

바카라The two left-armers were in attack and were swinging the ball in. It seemed like a tactic after lunch. It was Temba (Bavuma), who had a gut feel about how to get wicket and did feel logical to keep leg slip. 

We almost got Virat at square leg. After lunch, it was again a gut feel thing, after lunch, we changed tactics,바카라 said Rabada.
