Ideal was probably the only word to describe the first day’s play for India against the Proteas at Bangalore. Virat Kohli on winning the toss surprised a few by putting South Africa in and fair to say, it was a decision which paid off completely. R. Ashwin continued his dominance over the batsmen with his accuracy. Ravindra Jadeja too was among the wickets as he bagged another four wicket haul. The moment of the day though was Varun Aaron’s delivery to castle Hashim Amla. The visitors were dismissed for 214 as India are on the verge of completely dominating them.

Twitter reacted through the day’s course and below are some of the tweets.

Magician in Attack & delivers immediately for the skipper, think @ashwinravi99 is playing more on SA players mind then on the pitch #IndvsSA

Virat Kohli: In Mohali the pacers played their roles perfectly. Ishant can lead the pace attack now. I’m delighted that he’s back #IndvsSA

The wicket is only going getting better to bat on and should look to get a big 1st innings lead and take a 2-0 series lead #IndvsSA
