    1st Test: Thought India Should Have Scored More In First Innings: Kumble

    By IANS News November 16, 2025 • 16:30 PM View: 108
    Opener KL Rahul: Following their 30-run defeat to South Africa inside three days at the Eden Gardens, former India captain Anil Kumble felt the hosts missed an opportunity of scoring more runs in the first innings, adding that they looked rattled by the challenging pitch and conditions on offer.

    After bowling out South Africa for 159, India made 189 in their first innings and took a slender 30-run lead. Opener KL Rahul was the only batter from India to cross the 30-run mark.

    From 153/4, India lost their last five wickets for just 36 runs to be dismissed for 189. But on day three, in a chase of 124, India didn’t have any answers to the questions posed by South Africa’s bowlers and were bundled out for 93 in 35 overs.
