With the pitch and weather aiding swing bowling, India lost 3 wickets for under 25 runs after Rohit Sharma lost the toss.
Indian captain fell to Rabada's short ball ploy on the morning of the 1st Test.
Rohit, who made only 5 runs, was dismissed by Rabada for the 6th time in Test cricket.
The Indian captain has now fallen to Rabada a record 13 times - most dismissals for Rohit against a single bowler.
Rohit Sharma has never had a great time in South Africa in the longest format. In 9 innings so far, he has scored just 128 runs.
Rohit's score of 5 was his 3rd single-digit score in Tests in SA. He's averaging less than 15 runs per Test inns in the Rainbow nation.
The Indian captain's highest score in Tests in SA is just 47 and for India to have a shot at glory, he needs to come good in 2nd innings.
