In the ongoing test match between India & South Africa at Johannesburg, India was bowled out for 202 in the first innings. However, Indian bowlers have made a sort of comeback as they restricted South Africa to 191/7 at the end of session 2. Although at one time South Africa was lagging way behind, then vice-captain Temba Bavuma stepped up and powered his team with a quick fifty.
Bavuma was batting comfortably until he had to deal with Shardul Thakur. Temba Bavuma switched gears as he smacked Ravi Ashwin for a four and a six. In the next over itself, being bowled by Shardul, Bavuma smacked another four to reach his half-century; and on the next ball by Lord Thakur, Bavuma lost his wicket.
Shardul Thakur was bowling in a rhythm where most batters would try to get through with the over quietly but Temba Bavuma came down the track to smack a big shot but gave away his wicket. After this dismissal, Bavuma's face had an understandably disappointing performance as he was playing well and should've continued.
