In the second innings, nightwatchman Kuldeep Yadav created a huge stir with his defensive work rate in the first Indian innings; Hence, South African captain, Temba Bavuma, looked happy with his dismissal on the fifth day of the Guwahati Test.
After losing the Eden Gardens Test, India were desperate to bounce back in the second Test of the series against South Africa. However, Temba Bavuma and his men have dashed the expectations of millions of Indian fans.
Having set the Indian batsmen a mammoth target of 549 runs, the Proteas had already dismissed their plans of winning the game and leveling the series. India could have saved face only by not losing the home series with a clean sweep.
Temba Bavuma mocks Kuldeep Yadav with brutal celebration
India had to play the entire innings without attacking the Proteas bowlers, as the target of 549 runs never looked worth chasing in a single day of play. However, the Indian batsmen failed to even save their wicket.
Sai Sudarshan and Kuldeep Yadav, the two left-handers batting for the third wicket partnership, faced almost 100 balls but scored only a few runs. With an extremely defensive attitude, Simon Harmer finally found the place to uproot Kuldeep Yadav’s stumps.
After the ball hit the wickets, Temba Bavuma, who himself was fielding in the silly mid-off area, jumped up and celebrated by pumping his closed fists in the air.
