India were 202 for no loss in their first innings against South Africa on Day one of the first Test, when rain washed out the final session of the play at Visakhapatnam. Earlier, bad light and overcast weather forced umpires to declare tea before the scheduled time.
Making a dream debut as Test opener, Rohit Sharma struck an unbeaten 115. It was his fourth Test century. Rohit was supported by Mayank Agarwal at the other end, who remained unbeaten on 84. India captain Virat Kohli had won the toss and opted to bat in the series opener.
