2nd Test: Pleased That The Indian Bowlers Applied Consistent Pressure After Lunch, Says Anil Kumble
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Former India skipper Anil Kumble said he was satisfied with India’s bowling efforts on the opening day of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam, noting that the bowlers maintained consistent pressure after lunch and forced South Africa to take risks.
Left‑arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav returned with figures of 3-48, while Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Ravindra Jadeja took a wicket each as India got rewarded for their persistence by picking four wickets in the final session and kept South Africa to 247/6 in 81.5 overs on day one’s play.
"I'm pleased that the Indian bowlers applied consistent pressure after lunch, resulting in an early wicket, which made taking six wickets in the session a realistic goal. On a challenging pitch like this, it hasn't been easy to score runs, and India did not offer any loose deliveries.”
