IND vs SA 1st Test Update:
In a spectacular display of bowling prowess, Mohammed Siraj delivers yet another unplayable delivery, leaving Aiden Markram with little chance. These are the deliveries that haunt the dreams of many top-order batsmen, and today, Markram becomes the victim of Siraj’s brilliance.
The delivery, a perfectly pitched good-length ball outside off, exhibits subtle movement off the seam. It’s a delivery that demands a batsman’s utmost attention. Markram, in an attempt to safeguard his stumps, opts for a defensive stroke. However, the movement off the seam proves to be just enough to find the outer edge of Markram’s bat. Caught by Rahul, the dismissal unfolds as a nightmare for Markram, who departs after contributing just 5 runs from 17 balls, including a solitary boundary.
In this early encounter, India strikes a crucial blow, courtesy of Siraj’s exceptional seam bowling.
