Shardul Thakur delivered a good length ball outside off stump angling in and the Proteas batter was looking to dab it towards the third man but he lost control of the shot and only managed to get an inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. Also, Quinton de Kock was really angry with himself after the dismissal.

South Africa Batters Off To A Poor Start On Day 3

South Africa were off to a very poor start against the Indian pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami.

Jasprit Bumrah provided India with the big breakthrough in the first over itself by dismissing the opposition skipper Dean Elgar in the 5th ball.

Then Keegan Petersen and Aiden Markram who were trying to build a partnership were dismissed by senior pacer Shami. Rassie van der Dussen was also sent back to the pavilion by Mohammed Siraj.

At the time of writing, half of the South African team have been sent back to the dugout and Temba Bavuma is batting alongside Wiaan Mulder.
