1st Test: India Bundle Out South Africa For 153, Need 124 To Win
For South Africa: India have been set a target of 124 runs to win the first Test at Eden Gardens after bowling out South Africa for 153 in 54 overs of their second innings in the first session on Day 3. Veteran left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja was the standout bowler with figures of 4-50, while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj combined to take the remaining three wickets and wrap up the innings.
For South Africa, captain Temba Bavuma remained unbeaten on 55, marking the first half-century of the ongoing match. He and Bosch helped extend the visitors’ lead from 63 to 123 through a vital 44-run partnership on a challenging pitch.
India, however, will be without skipper Shubman Gill, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the match due to a neck injury. A successful chase for India minus Gill would set a new record for the highest run chase ever at Eden Gardens.
