How Day 1 unfolded: Bumrah’s Dominance and India’s firm start
Jasprit Bumrah put on an outstanding display on the opening day of the first Test against South Africa at Kolkata, leading India’s charge. The hosts dismissed the Proteas for 159 runs. Bumrah was the main architect of their downfall, taking five crucial wickets.
At the end of the first day’s play, India were 37/1 after 20 overs, still 122 runs. The only setback for India was the early dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal. KL Rahul and Washington Sundar, however, steadied the ship without any further wickets, ensuring India stayed in a strong position heading into Day 2.
