New Delhi. The second test match between India and Africa is being played in Cape Town. South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first. But his decision proved wrong. Africa’s first innings collapsed for just 55 runs. Team India’s batsmen also proved unsuccessful in the first innings. Many players of the team were dealt with cheaply. No batting legend was successful in playing a big innings. Not only this, 6 batsmen of Team India could not even open their account. These include the names of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.

These 6 players of Team India are out on duck. Not only this, India also lost 6 important wickets in 11 balls within 12 minutes. Perhaps this is the first time in history that six wickets have fallen on the same score in a team’s Test innings. Team India had lost 4 wickets for 153 runs. But suddenly the entire team collapsed like a pack of cards at the score of 153 runs. What could be a more shameful performance than this? As a result, India’s first innings was reduced to 153 runs.

After 147 years, it has happened in the history of cricket that 6 players of a team returned to the pavilion without scoring any runs. However, Team India has definitely created a lead of 98 runs. The surprising thing is that 20 wickets fell in the first day’s play. In such a situation, the question is whether the second test will end within two days?
But now India will have to work hard to win this match. The anger of the fans is being seen on social media over the very shameful performance of Team India’s batsmen. Talking about the performance of the team’s batsmen, Virat Kohli scored the maximum 46 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma could score 39 runs, Shubman Gill could score 36 runs and KL Rahul could score 8 runs. 6 batsmen are out on duck. Whereas from South Africa Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Berger took three wickets each.
Let us tell you that due to the strong bowling of Mohammad Siraj, India had bundled out the entire African team for 55 runs in the first innings. Siraj showed the way to the pavilion to 6 African batsmen. Whereas Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar took 2-2 wickets.
