Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin is often praised for his knowledge and analysis on cricket. He has once again proved his excellence with an observation regarding an ex-Rajasthan Royals and current South Africa pacer Corbin Bosch. The right-arm fast bowler had a dream start to his Test career as he returned figures of 4 for 63 against Pakistan in the first innings of the first Test at SuperSport Park, Centurion. While Bosch impressed everyone with his bowling ability, Ashwin pointed out his first-class batting average on social media, and it took the South Africa star hardly a day to prove him right.

Debutant Corbin Bosch hit 81 not out and left-arm fast bowler Marco Jansen claimed two late wickets as South Africa took control on the second day of the first Test against Pakistan at SuperSport Park on Friday. Bosch, batting at number nine, enabled South Africa to take a 90-run first innings lead -- and the bowlers made it count by taking three wickets before Pakistan could wipe out the deficit. Pakistan finished the day on 88 for three -- still two runs behind. South Africa would qualify for next year's World Test Championship final for the first time with a victory in either match of this two-Test series.
