India loses 6 wickets for 0 runs in 11 balls in shocking batting collapse, IND vs SA 2nd Test.
During the opening day of the second Test between India and South Africa at Newlands in Cape Town on Wednesday, India experienced a sudden and unprecedented batting collapse, losing six wickets in just 11 balls without adding any runs to their score.
The collapse was initiated by Lungi Ngidi in the 34th over, where he claimed three wickets in five balls. Despite India’s initial comfort at 153 for four, Ngidi dismissed KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah in a remarkable triple-wicket maiden over
Subsequently, in the next over, Kagiso Rabada managed to induce Virat Kohli’s outside edge, extinguishing any hopes of an Indian fightback. Within two balls, Mohammed Siraj was run out due to a mix-up with Prasidh Krishna. Krishna’s subsequent dismissal on the following delivery resulted in India being bowled out for 153 in 33.5 overs, holding a lead of 98 runs.
Earlier in the day, Mohammed Siraj showcased an exceptional performance, picking up six wickets to dismantle the South African batting lineup, which crumbled for a mere 55 runs after their skipper, Dean Elgar, chose to bat.
