India’s Mohammad Siraj was the star player on the first day of the second Test against South Africa, as he took six wickets in South Africa’s first innings. Siraj’s exceptional performance saw him concede only 15 runs in nine overs, leading India to bowl out South Africa for just 55 runs.
Siraj’s victims in the first innings included Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Tony de Sorsi, David Bedingham, Kyle Verne, and Marco Jansen. It was Virat Kohli’s tactical advice that played a crucial role in the dismissal of Jansen, as a video showed Kohli instructing Siraj before the delivery, indicating an outswinger, which resulted in Jansen’s wicket.
With a lead of 98 runs in the first innings, India had the upper hand despite being bowled out for 153 runs. South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Nandra Burger took three wickets each on a pitch that favored the pacers.
Virat Kohli was India’s top scorer with 46 runs, and his tactical masterstroke in Jansen’s dismissal, combined with Siraj’s flawless execution, were the highlights of the day for the Indian team.
