Jansen's Fiery Spell Puts South Africa in Command
In a dramatic display of fast bowling, South Africa's left-arm pacer Marco Jansen single-handedly dismantled the Indian batting lineup on the opening day of the second Test. The hosts were bowled out for a modest total of 201 runs after Jansen's devastating spell wrecked havoc, particularly through the middle order.
Hosts Stumble After Jansen's Onslaught
The Indian team, which had hoped to build a substantial first-innings total, found itself in disarray as Marco Jansen claimed a magnificent six-wicket haul. His precision and pace proved too much for the Indian batsmen, who struggled to build partnerships once the tall pacer found his rhythm. The collapse was swift and decisive, shifting the momentum firmly in South Africa's favor.
Looking Ahead: A Mountain to Climb for India
With the first day's play concluding on 24th November 2025, the Indian team faces an uphill battle. Being restricted to a mere 201 runs puts immense pressure on their bowlers to deliver an exceptional performance when South Africa comes out to bat. The match, as of the latest update at 10:28 IST, hangs in the balance, but the Proteas have undoubtedly landed the first significant blow.
