The Newlands pitch wasn’t the only headline maker during the first day of the second Test between India and South Africa that got underway on Wednesday.
Ravi Shastri provided a memorable moment from the commentary box by summing up India’s stunning batting collapse that saw them lose six wickets without the addition of a single run in response to South Africa’s 55-all-out.
Shastri said on-air as the players were leaving the field following the end of India’s first innings in Cape Town that, "Yes, 153/4, 153 all out. If someone went around the corner for a dump and has come back, India has been bowled out for 153.”
South Africa captain Dean Elgar won the toss and chose to bat first, with the hosts eyeing a 2-0 series sweep after beating India by an innings and 32 runs in the first Test last week.
However, Mohammed Siraj delivered a spell from hell to finish with stunning figures of 6/15 from nine overs as South Africa were bundled out for 55 in their first innings.
