New Delhi: Shardul Thakur’s 7/61 makes him the proud owner of a unique record against South Africa.
This is now the best-ever bowling figures for an Indian bowler against SA in Tests. He first removed the two overnight batters in Elgar and Petersen before dismissing RCV at the stroke of lunch.
In the second session, he broke another threatening partnership between Bavuma and Verreynne to complete his 5-fer.
Then, Bumrah and Shami bagged a wicket each before Shardul came back to bag 2 wickets in 2 balls to help India bundle the Proteas out.
