South Africa would have loved their openers to give them a solid start after India piled up 497 for 9 (declared) in the first innings of the Ranchi Test. But instead, lost both𒉰 the openers in the first two overs.
On the ඣlast ball of his first over, Yadav bowled a soaring bouncer to put Quinton de Kock in an awkward position. Eventually, the indecisive de Kock ended up gloving it to the Indian wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha. The 26-year-old ﷽southpaw could only muster a paltry four off six balls, courtesy one boundary.
Well, South Africa’s gamble to make de Kock open the innings didn’t yield any rewards.

In the previous over, Shami had𓄧 sent back D🥀ean Elgar for zero in a similar manner.
