[WATCH]- Jasprit Bumrah’s Quick Double Wickets Revive India’s Chances In The First Test Against South Africa

Jasprit Bumrah provided a crucial breakthrough for India by ending the partnership between Dean Elgar and Tony de Zorzi. He bowled a brilliant delivery to dismiss de Zorzi and later took the wicket of Keegan Petersen, playing a key role in bringing India back into the match.

De Zorzi and Elgar had built a partnership of 93 runs for the second wicket when Bumrah bowled an outstanding delivery from around the wicket. The ball landed on a good length and maintained its line, causing De Zorzi to be caught off guard as he attempted to defend.

The left-hander could only edge the ball to Yashasvi Jaiswal in the slip cordon, and the young player made a straightforward catch. Jasprit Bumrah was very happy because his wicket was crucial for India to do well after the batsmen had a long partnership.

The pressure from Bumrah led to another wicket, with Keegan Petersen mistakenly hitting the ball onto his stumps while attempting a cover drive. Petersen was upset with his shot choice and had to leave the field, providing India with another vital breakthrough.

Jasprit Bumrah’s successful dismissals make Dean Elgar’s wicket even more significant

The Indian bowlers have faced a tough challenge, largely due to the efforts of seasoned opener Dean Elgar. The experienced left-handed batsman has accumulated 82 runs so far and appears comfortable against all that the visitors have bowled at him.

India wants to get Dean Elgar out quickly to take control of the game, while South Africa hopes Elgar can bat for a long time. This is especially crucial because their captain, Temba Bavuma, might not be able to bat due to an injury.
