Ravindra Jadeja’s clever trap trapped Kyle Verrey on the second day
The flashpoint came in the 121st over, when South Africa were 334/6 and Vereen and Senuran Muthusamy The 88-run partnership had started to seriously disappoint India. Having seen the wicketkeeper-batsman repeatedly use his feet, Jadeja adjusted beautifully: he kept his length back a bit, pushed the ball wide, and as Verrain moved up the pitch, he fired it away sharply.
Verein, who scored 45 off 122 balls with five fours, had to be thrown into the air as the ball swerved past his jab and Pant completed the stumping with sharp hands, after which the TV umpire did a brief check and confirmed that the take was clean. Once replays showed Pant collecting the ball behind the stumps, Vereen had to walk, ending an 88-run partnership that had pulled South Africa from a potentially fragile 246/6 to 334/7. Jadeja’s figures in that time were 2 for 57 in 22.3 overs, underscoring his control and accuracy on a surface that has offered slow, steady turn rather than demons.
The dismissal also highlighted Pant’s dual role as captain and wicketkeeper, including his aggressive use of spin from both ends as well as sharp work to the stumps. For India, this success was as much psychological as it was tactical, briefly reactivating the attack after a long, tense morning and afternoon of ordeal.
