2nd Test: Kuldeep Picks Three As Persistent India Keep South Africa To 247/6
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Kuldeep Yadav led the way with figures of 3-48 as a persistent India reduced South Africa to 247/6 in 81.5 overs before bad light brought an early end to Day One in the second and final Test of the series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.
India struck late to dismiss Tony de Zorzi, which capped off a disciplined effort that ensured South Africa’s batters, despite all getting starts, failed to convert any of them into a half‑century. Having won the toss on a good red soil batting pitch, South Africa were unable to fully capitalise on the opportunity, leaving India the happier side at stumps.
India were rewarded for their persistence after lunch as Ravindra Jadeja removed Temba Bavuma, who fell for 41 off 92 balls, attempting to loft over extra cover but instead chipping to mid‑off. Bavuma’s dismissal ended his steady 84‑run stand with Tristan Stubbs.
