A day which started with Indian bowlers annihilating the South African pacers, ended with Indian batters surrendering against Proteas pacers in IND vs SA 2nd Test at Cape Town.
After Mohammed Siraj’s 6-wicket haul helped India bundle out the hosts for a mere 55, the India’s lower batting order displayed a horror performance, as visitors went from 153/4 to 153 all-out in just 11 balls.
Bowlers’ high, Batters’ low
India took 10 wickets in 23.2 overs. This was the fewest overs taken by a subcontinent team to bowl out the opposition ever.
However, the Indian batters’ horror show saw the visitors registering an unwanted record.
The Rohit Sharma-led side registered 6 ducks during their innings which is joint most in a Test innings.
