He took out players like Tristan Stubbs, David Bedingham, Kyle Verreynne, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, and Lungi Ngidi in the play. Lots of fans shared their praises for Jasprit Bumrah on social media, celebrating his effective bowling skills.
Top responses include the following:
The third five-wicket haul in South Africa for Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah is tied for highest in the Rainbow Nation. In the second innings, he had a chance to finish with seven wickets, but in the 28th over, wicketkeeper KL Rahul missed an easy opportunity to give Aiden Markram a break.
With 12 wickets from three innings, Jasprit Bumrah was one of India’s most impressive bowlers during the series.
India’s victory target of 79 runs in Cape Town to draw the series
In the opening Test of the two-match series, the Men in Blue fell behind South Africa by an innings and thirty-two runs. In the second and final match, the team captained by Rohit Sharma recovered and made apologies.
The first-inning score of 55 by India against the Men in Blue was the lowest ever by any side in Test cricket history. The visitors were knocked out for 153 as they too had trouble getting going with the bat.
In the second innings, South Africa’s opener Aiden Markram dazzled at the bat, smashing a magnificent hundred off a challenging pitch. At 106 runs off 103 balls, the right-handed hitter was his team’s lone warrior.
The home team eventually gained a 78-run advantage before being all out. If India can successfully chase down the 79-run goal, they would tie the series 1-1.
