South Africa vs India 2018: 3rd Test, day 3, 5 things we learnt from the day

#5 Vijay and Kohli resist anything and everything

It took a peach from Rabada to end Vijay's innings

Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli stood strong after India lost KL Rahul early. On a pitch where batting was getting near impossible by the minute, Vijay and Kohli showed impeccable judgement outside the off-stump before driving with authority through covers to keep the scorecard ticking.

The 43-run partnership was among the best India has had this series and it not only defied the Proteas seamers but also put the fielders under tremendous stress.

Kagiso Rabada eventually ended the stand with a rip-roaring yorker to send Vijay back before cleaning up Kohli with an inswinger.
