In the first Test of the series against South Africa in Centurion, KL Rahul faced severe spells and cloudy skies, but he persevered through it all to score his eighth Test century. He became the first overseas cricket player to reach the three-figure mark in Test cricket at the venue with this, his second such mark. During his innings on the first and second days of the Test, Rahul struck his century in 133 balls, showcasing both his attacking and defensive skills. It's interesting to note that Rahul is playing in his first Test match as the designated wicketkeeper-batter.
