The hosts’ blazing pace attack have outclassed the defending World Test Championship (WTC) winners in the ongoing IND vs SA 1st Test. India’s prime pacer Jasprit Bumrah carried on his usual form to bag his third Test fifer at home and 16th overall.
Bumrah’s bowling partner, Mohammed Siraj, also complemented his efforts with two crucial strikes in the 45th over to remove Kyle Verreynne and Marco Jansen. While the Proteas wicketkeeper-batter managed 16 runs before getting trapped for an LBW, all-rounder Jansen just survived three balls as the 31-year-old knocked over his stumps with the fourth delivery of the over.
