India had a lot to do after losing the IND vs SA 1st Test in the two-match Test series. India did deliver in Cape Town, and how! South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first, However, Mohammad Siraj-led bowling attack bundled out the Proteas for 55 in the first innings. India managed to score 153 runs before bowling South Africa out for 176 runs. India chased 79 runs with seven wickets to spare, earning a series levelling win.
The performers of the match were mostly bowlers. Only Virat Kohli in India’s first innings, and Aiden Markram in South Africa’s second innings standing out among batters.
In a social media post on X (previously Twitter), Tendulkar praised Jasprit Bumrah’s length and Aiden Markram’s approach in the match.
“Congratulations to #TeamIndia for levelling the series! Markram’s approach was fantastic because sometimes attack is the best form of defence on a pitch like this. Well bowled by Bumrah, who showed us exactly, how bowling in the channel consistently is all that’s required on such type of wickets,” Tendulkar wrote on Twitter.
