India suffered an embarrassing loss to South Africa in the 1st Test, trailing 1-0 in the two-match series. Despite Virat Kohli's resilient 76, India collapsed, posting a meager 131 in the second innings, leading to an innings and 32-run defeat in Centurion. South Africa's commanding performance, with Dean Elgar's stellar 185 and a substantial first-innings lead of 157 runs, showcased their dominance. KL Rahul's century and Kohli's efforts were overshadowed by India's inability to counter the Proteas' prowess. India's total runs: 245 (1st Innings) + 131 (2nd Innings) = 376. South Africa's commanding total: 408 (1st Innings). The Rohit Sharma-led team faces a challenging comeback in the next match to level the series.
