Mohammed Siraj is delighted to have started the 2024 with career-best figures in Test cricket but after day one of the second Test, the India pacer was more pleased about rectifying the mistakes he committed during the series opener against South Africa. Siraj had figures of 2/91 in South Africa's only innings in the opening Test but returned with six for 15 from nine overs to bundle out the hosts for 55 in first innings as 23 wickets fell on day one.

First Time In 92 Years! India Achieve Historic High By Dismissing South Africa For Just 55

Indian cricket team, led by the fiery pace bowling of Mohammed Siraj, achieved a historic high on Day 1 of the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

During the India vs South Africa second Test match at Newlands in Cape Town, Virat Kohli was once again seen using his 'bail-swap' move. Ahead of Stumps on Day 1, Aiden Markram seemingly tried to waste some time to avoid another over. This is when Kohli got near the stumps and swapped the bails. Kohli playfully switching the bails during fielding is not new. The player had done this during the first Test against South Africa in Centurion too. However, unlike last time where Kohli's move saw India getting a wicket in the same over, it failed to provide the guests breakthrough as Markram comfortably defended the last ball.
