India vs South Africa, 1st Test: KL Rahul hits century as India grab upper hand on Day 1 at Centurion

KL Rahul won a strong first day for the Indian team in the Centurion game, as the visitors ended 90 games with a score of 272/3. Rahul remained undefeated in 122 games, and Ajinkya Rahane (a player whose position in Test XI before the start of the game was uncertain) was impressive as he reached 40*. Earlier in the day, Mayank Agarwal also lashed out for half a century (60), because the opener added 117 times to the first wicket. Pujara (0) continued to disappoint, and India captain Virat Kohli (35) loosely gave up his wicket after a strong start. For South Africa, Lungi Ngidi chose all three wickets. Earlier, India won the toss and chose to hit the ball. Kohli was heartbroken again. He had a good start to the game, but a large number of penalty kicks eventually forced him to chase the pass outside. The thick outer edge is grasped by the first sliding.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
