Despite losing three wickets in the first session, Team India were in control with Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer looking settled after being dropped early in the innings.
However, Rabada dismissed both set batters post lunch to put India in the back foot.
“Kohli and Iyer were playing well, dropped early in the innings and I’m glad those drops weren’t too costly”, the Proteas pacer added.
The 28-year-old also lauded debutant Nandra Burger and said that he has shown that he is a “fierce competitor”.
“He seems to be a fierce competitor, you saw it yesterday with the way he was bowling. I’m very happy for him and wish him many more wickets in his Test career”, Rabada concluded.
