Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane – the captain and vice-captain of the Indian Test team – combined to put on an unbeaten 167-run partnership as India ended day one of the third Test on 267/3.
Kohli ended the day on 103*, the Indian skipper’s 13th Test century with Rahane closing in on his century (79*) in the first ever Test to be staged at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
Earlier in the day, Murali Vijay was dismissed for just 10 after some sharp work from Tom Latham at forward short-leg. Gautam Gambhir and Cheteshwar Pujara looked good but failed to capitalise on their starts as they got out for 29 and 41 respectively.
Jeetan Patel, Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner picked up a wicket a piece for the Blackcaps.
