Nothing can be more embarrassing for India than the 1st day of 2nd test match with South Africa. Playing at Motera, Ahmedabad, SA packed their bags for paltry score of 76 all out. Though I am not a statistician, I think, this is the lowest score by side in an international test match.
Skipper Anil Kumble's decision to bat first backfired as South African
pacers made the best out of the tinge of grass and the morning dew to
floor the Indians in just 20 overs.
Now, a days, teams score much higher scores in 2020 than 76 all out.
There is not doubt that India will have a Herculean task to come back into the match, with SA already at 223/2 om day 2.
With the start of India South Africa series in India, both the countries competing for number two position in the world.
India riding on their excellent performance at Australia, though they lost the series 1-2. India put a tough fight in the lost series as a visitor.
On the other hand, SA is upbeat about their performance. So, let's wait and watch on who takes the number two spot.
