Before the start of the final innings of the first Test against South Africa, Aswin correctly identified the error in the new ball given to the Indian team and took it to the umpires.
During the 4th day of the first Test at Centurion, India were bowled out for 174 in the 2nd innings and set a target of 305 for victory over South Africa.
In this situation, there was a slight delay in the start of the last innings of the first Test, mainly due to Indian spinner Aswin.
Ashwin found fault with the new ball given to Bumrah to start the last innings.
Aswin immediately appealed to the umpires that we did not pick this ball.
Immediately, Indian captain Kohli along with Aswin appealed to the umpires.
Following this, the new Kookapura red balls were brought to the field in a box in which Aswin selected and delivered the ball that was right for the Indian team to bowl.
At the end of the 4th day’s play, the South African team scored 94 runs for the loss of 4 wickets.
With the 5th and final day starting today, South Africa need 211 runs to win and India need 6 wickets to win.
