India faced penalties for a slow over-rate during the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. In the opening Test, led by Rohit Sharma, the team was penalized with a deduction of two crucial ICC World Test Championship points for being two overs short of the target.
Additionally, they were fined 10% of their match fee. The sanction was imposed by Chris Broad of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.
India lost the opening Test of the two-match series by an innings and 32 runs.

After the Test loss, India found themselves at No.5 with 16 points from three Tests and a points percentage of 44.44.
However, the deduction of points for the slow-over rate further weakens India's position in the standings, causing them to slip below Australia to No.6, with 14 points and a points percentage of 38.89.
