Jasprit Bumrah’s confidence finally paid off, Cheteshwar Pujara, his first slip, lay flat on his stomach, watching the ball roll away from him, and Virat Kohli, his second slip, chasing in vain as it hit keeper Rishabh Pant. He was making his way towards the helmet lying behind.
The Middle Edge of First Slip :-
Temba Bavuma shone on wide outside off-stump off Shardul Thakur. And the edge between the keeper and first slip went down. When he dives to his left, it reaches Pujara on gaining height, but he fails to catch it.

India’s bowlers remained among South Africa’s batsmen throughout the day, roaming the aisles outside the off-stump, finding movement both ways. And mostly either hitting the edge or looking for the ball to fall just short of the hoop. In this subject, reach out to him and fire. And if LBW was shouted, Height inevitably came to South Africa’s rescue.
For their second consecutive innings on the field, India seemed to be doing most of the things right without getting rewards for it. The last time was South Africa’s fourth innings in Johannesburg, where the bowlers made 62 false shots and took just three wickets.
The South African Tall Bowlers :-
Other factors contributed to India’s defeat, such as the rain making it easier to bat on the fourth day, and the tall South African bowlers were able to make good use of the pitch up and down India’s draw, but you can’t get away. Could fate have played the background?
It seemed like it was happening all over again. India was bowled out for 223 and South Africa was 143 for 4 after that drop.
During India’s innings on the first day, South Africa’s bowlers made 64 false shots, taking ten wickets in 77.3 overs. After Pujara’s dismissal, India made their 64th false shot in the 56th over of South Africa’s innings in 5.3 overs.

This time, Mohammed Shami found Bavuma’s edge in the fifth stump channel with a dangerously straightened delivery. The lead may have been cut short by a less athletic second slip, but Kohli completed a fine two-handed grab while diving to his left, his 100th catch in Test cricket. South Africa scored 155 for 5 wickets.
On the first day at Newlands, Jasprit Bumrah found the outer edge of Elgar with the kind of ball he had bowled to the same batsman several times without luck a few days ago.
Bumrah and Elgar would both know that Elgar 96 was not out and Elgar c Cheteshwar Pujara b Jasprit Bumrah 3 was the result of the same process being unfathomable fluctuations.
Make The Most Of Your Processes :-
Those fluctuations on an innings-to-innings or match-by-match basis are not exceptional. But they also wear out over the long term, and across series, seasons, careers, and eras, the players and teams that execute their processes in the most deserving way usually savor the rewards that are due to them. There are.
On the second day at Newlands, India’s bowling quality finally fetched the prize it was due. This gave his team a narrow first-innings lead which could prove crucial in their quest for a maiden Test series win in South Africa.
The first ball of the day was going away from Aiden Markram, perhaps encouraging the batsman to drop the second, who pitched at almost the same spot and came back to knock back on the stumps.

You’ll remember that ball, and you’ll remember Bumrah’s look on Marco Jansen, hitting the top of the off after straightening one from his outside edge.
You will miss those moments, but to really understand Bumrah’s goodness and India’s campaign, you must also remember all the deliveries that didn’t take wickets but created as much discomfort.
