IND vs SA: Siraj needs no translator
A hilarious incident occurred during the post-match presentation when Siraj forgot that his translator Bumrah was next to him. Responding to the first question of the presentor, the POTM went on to recount his spell in fluent English before Bumrah nudged his fellow pacer to remind him why he was there.
” It’s my best figures in Test career. I tried to be consistent and hit the right areas. I wasn’t consistent in the previous match and that’s why we leaked a lot of runs. Worked hard on consistency and tried to be relentless with my lengths. When we play together, he (Bumrah) gets the message earlier. We try to analyse the wicket quicker. (Message to the fans) Thank you so much, keep supporting,” Siraj said at the post-match presentation.
Team India pulled off a sensational victory at Cape Town as the Proteas were defeated by 7 wickets to level the IND vs SA series 1-1. Chasing a target of 79 runs, Rohit Sharma and co took apart the hosts, clobbering their way to victory. With this epic win in the low-scoring 2nd Test, India registered their first ever win at Cape Town.
