    "editor1": "<p>South Africa vs India: In the ongoing test match between these two at Cape Town, team India currently seems to be in a strong position. However, South Africa picked up two wickets in the form of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane in the first two overs of the day, Rishabh Pant has scored a fabulous fifty to bring his team back in the contest.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the 48th over of the second innings, Keshav Maharaj came onto bowl. Rishabh Pant immediately switched gears and swept for a six. South Africa planned for Pant to mishit the spinner, but the Indian wicketkeeper took on the challenge, goes for the slog-sweep, fetching the ball from well outside off, and a vintage Pant &#39;one-handed&#39; strike cleared mid-wicket.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the very next delivery, Pant smashed the ball even longer. The 24-year old went down the pitch and lofted the ball downtown. The mid-off fielder was up in the circle, and Pant produced yet another percentage blow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/31oczdPFgP\">pic.twitter.com\/31oczdPFgP<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Bleh (@rishabh2209420) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rishabh2209420\/status\/1481594786108907521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about the match, while writing this piece, India are at 162\/6 with a lead of 175 runs.
