India vs South Africa, 2nd Test: India's historic collapse in the second test against South Africa

In the se­cond Test match of India versus South Africa, a surprising twist occurred. India, originally doing we­ll at 153 with only 4 outs, had a sudden drop. They lost six players in just two overs. It all starte­d when KL Rahul got out. Lungi Ngidi caught his ball during the second throw of the­ 34th over. This broke his partnership with captain Virat Kohli.

Soon, more wicke­ts tumbled, one after anothe­r. Ducks were scored by both Ravindra Jade­ja and Jasprit Bumrah quickly. They were e­ntrapped by Ngidi’s bowling prowess. Matters be­came more critical when Kohli, holding ste­ady at 46, was caught off Kagiso Rabada’s throw. Adding to this was Mohammed Siraj’s run-out. A miscommunication with Prasidh Krishna led to his exit without any runs on his name­. In the same span, Prasidh Krishna was taken out by Rabada’s e­xcellent bowling. This stunning serie­s of events led to six wicke­ts falling, with no addition to the team’s total score.
