IND vs SA: Virat Kohli breaks Rahul Dravid’s record in third Test away from century

Indian Test captain Virat Kohli showed his class on the first day of the third Test against South Africa. Many consider his 79 against South Africa in the first innings of the Cape Town Test, his best in the last two years. Kohli took his time and completed his half-century in 157 balls, his second-slowest half-century in Test cricket. Had Kohli found someone to be with him for a long time, he could have crossed the 100 mark, ending the long wait for his 71st international century. ( kohli break dravid record )
