Express pacer Jasprit Bumrah provided team India back-to-back wickets in the ongoing IND vs SA 1st Test. At first, Bumrah broke a crucial partnership between skipper Dean Elgar and Tony de Zorzi as he scalped Zorzi with a brilliant delivery. Jasprit Bumrah then cleaned up Keegan Petersen to give India an opening on Day 2 of the IND vs SA 1st Test.
Despite losing two wickets in quick succession, South Africa are still in commanding position with skipper Elgar still at the crease. Jasprit Bumrah and Co. will need to get some wickets as early as possible to make a comeback.
Earlier in the match, fast bowler Mohammed Siraj gave India its first wicket after he scalped the wicket of Aiden Markram. Team India managed to post 245 runs in their first innings. Battling bad Test form for a while, KL made a comeback playing on a tough Centurion surface, coming to the crease at 92/4, the middle-order batter batted for most of his knock with lower middle-order/lower-order batters to register a memorable comeback ton. He scored 101 in 137 balls, with 14 fours and four sixes, striking at a strike rate of over 75.
