Delhi: In the first test against South Africa, the Indian team had to face defeat by 30 runs. While chasing the modest target of 124 runs, the entire batting of Team India fell apart like a pack of cards and the team was all out for just 93 runs. In the second innings, the maximum runs for India were scored by Washington Sundar, who played an inning of 31 runs.

Bumrah’s brilliance, India lead in the first innings

South Africa scored 159 runs in the first innings of the match. Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly for India and took five wickets. Apart from him, Mohammad Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav also bowled effectively. In response, India scored 189 runs and took a lead of 30 runs on the basis of first innings.

African batsman flopped in the second innings also

South African batsmen were again seen struggling in the second innings. Only captain Temba Bavuma could survive after scoring 55 runs. The rest of the batsmen could not stand against the Indian bowlers and the entire team was reduced to 153 runs. In this way India got the target of 124 runs to win.

Shameful performance by Indian batsmen, this happened for the first time

Despite the target being small, the performance of Indian batsmen was very poor. No player batted solidly and the team collapsed for just 93 runs. This is the first time in the history of Indian cricket, when the score in all four innings of a Test match played in the country has been less than 200.

This is only the 12th time in overall Test history, when less than 200 runs have been scored in all four innings of a match. Due to poor performance of the batsmen, India lost this victory even though it was in hand.

Not only this, this is the first time in Indian Test history that a Team India batsman could not score even a half-century in a single Test match.
