1st Test: Kuldeep Dismisses Rickelton Before Tea As South Africa Trail India By 12 Runs
For South Africa: Kuldeep Yadav struck early to dismiss Ryan Rickelton as South Africa reached 18/1 in 6.4 overs at tea, trailing India by 12 runs on Day 2 of the first Test at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. Earlier, India were bowled out for 189 in their first innings and held a slender 30-run lead over South Africa.
South Africa’s second innings commenced on a scorching note as Jasprit Bumrah troubled Rickelton with pace and bounce, even striking him a couple of times on the body, though the batter still managed to score two boundaries. Axar Patel, taking the new ball ahead of Mohammed Siraj, bowled a disciplined line to ensure Rickelton and Aiden Markram were kept in check.
The breakthrough from Kuldeep came at the stroke of tea, when his fuller and straight ball trapped Rickelton lbw for 11. With Markram still not out on three and set to be joined by Wiaan Mulder in the post-tea session, the contest remains delicately poised, with both sides looking to seize momentum in the final session on Day 2.
