India Beat South Africa By 7 Wickets At Cape Town, Siraj-Bumrah Bowl Bravely

It was a bowlers' show at Cape Town, during the second test between India and South Africa, as speedsters from both teams picked up all wickets. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah were the heroes who took six-wicket hauls in the first and third innings, respectively. Both the pacers restricted hosts for low totals of 55 and 176, resulting in India's victory in the must-win game.

On Day 1, Miyan magic mesmerised everyone as Mohammed Siraj scalped a six-wicket haul leaving the hosts stunned. The start was no less than Centurion's defeat's revenge as wounded Indian tigers ended South Africa's inning for only 55 runs. Mohammed Siraj allowed only 15 runs in his spell to bag six wickets with a cheap economy of 1.70. He was complimented by youngster Mukesh Kumar's two wickets, who proved his metal of bowling speed and swing.

In the second inning, speed battery Kagiso Rabada, Nandre Burger, and Lungi Ngidi did the magic with the ball for South Africa. Proteas managed to end India's innings for only 153 runs. Shockingly, turning the table Proteas pacers dismissed six batters without allowing them to score a single run. Virat Kohli (46), Rohit Sharma (39) and Shubhman Gill (36) tried hard but failed to stay for long at the crease.
