Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan lauded Siraj’s spell

Siraj’s effort was special in the New Year’s Test match given India fell to a heavy defeat in the 1st Test of the series where they fell to an innings defeat against the Protea side. Speaking about Mohammed Siraj’s spell on Wednesday, 3 January, former India cricketer Irfan Pathan lauded Siraj’s spell and said that he had never seen an effort like that in his life.

Indian Bowling attack  started off in style in new year

Indian bowling attack started off in style and they really bowled like they were bowling fire against SA in first inning . Mohammed Siraj took 6 wicket , Jasprit Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar followed with 2 wickets both, It was lowest score by Proteas against India in test cricket . Indian bowling attack all out them within 2 hours of spell.

After bowled out for just 55 , South Africa needed only breakthroughs , Kagiso rabada did provide it by getting rid of Yashasvi Jaiswal but they allowed Rohit sharma and Shubman Gill to build partnership , which helped india to get passed the Proteas total, Gill and Sharma fell in quick succession while shreyas Iyer again failed to mark his impact .

It was partnership stand between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul that steadied things . they were looking well set to take a descent lead but that collapse meant they were stopped in their tracks and had to settle for lead of 98 runs

India also lost its last 6 wicket without scoring runs

It was seen something extraordinary here in cape town , India also lost its last 6 wicket with absolutely no runs and they have been bowled out for 153 runs with a lead of 98 runs which seems to be massive one on this wicket . South Africa looked a bit under pressure after tea as visitors were scoring runs comfortably , but KL Rahul collapse give massive boost to South Africa . It was quality contribution by Rohit Sahrma and Shubhman Gill and Crucial knock by One and Only Virat Kohli who only gave breathing space for visitors in this test.
