On the second day of the ongoing Cape Town Test between South Africa and India (SA vs IND), Jasprit Bumrah has troubled the host batsmen a lot with his lethal bowling. In the very first session of the game, he broke the back of the African team by taking wickets at consecutive intervals. He also completed his 5 wicket haul.

When the host team came to bat on the second day, its score was 62/3. After this, the team had just added 4 runs to the score when Jasprit Bumrah showed the way to the pavilion to David Bedingham (11). After this the Indian fast bowler took a series of wickets. He did not allow any middle-order batsman to stay at the crease. Amidst the fall of wickets, Markram held one end and completed his half-century.

However, Bumrah was in his element and completed his 5 wicket haul by dismissing Keshav Maharaj in the 26th over. In this way he became the second player to take two five-wicket hauls in Test in Cape Town. Bumrah was highly praised on social media for his brilliant performance.

Bumrah wasn’t gonna stay behind in his wicket tally. Leader of the pack for a reason. Brilliant 5fier. #INDvsSA

Cape Town once again showed cricketers with limited first class experience will always struggle against red ball. Truth is white ball dominance can’t make you a Test batsman. #INDvsSA
