WATCH: Deepak Chahar & Arshdeep Rattle South African Batters As India Reduced The Proteas To 9/5
Indian fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar produced an impeccable bowling performance as South Africa batters metaphorically kneeled in front of team India. After India captain, Rohit Sharma won the toss & opted to bowl first after which Arshdeep Singh & Deepak Chahar together reduced South Africa to 9 runs in 2.3 overs where 5 batters already returned to the pavilion. During this, South Africa lost three of their top-order batters for a golden duck.
First wicket- Deepak Chahar was handed the responsibility to bowl the first over for team India. On the last delivery of the over, Deepak uprooted South Africa captain Temba Bavuma's middle stump. Chahar hit the fullish length with an inswinger as the ball curved back in viciously to rattle the middle and leg stumps. There was no foot movement from Bavuma as he tried to drill the drive and left a huge gap between the pad and the bat.
