An unbelievable batting collapse saw India getting bundled out for 153 on Day 1 of the second Test against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town.
At 153/4, the visitors seemed in control of the Test until Lundi Ngidi removed KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah in an exceptional triple-wicket over.
Kagiso Rabada then took the prized scalp of Virat Kohli in the subsequent over, shattering India's hopes of a fightback. Within moments, Mohammed Siraj's run-out followed and Krishna's dismissal off the next delivery folded India's innings at 153 in 33.5 overs.
The dramatic collapse restricted India’s lead to 98 runs. This is the first time in Test cricket history that a team lost its final six wickets without adding a single run to the existing score.
Kohli was the top-scorer for India with 46 while the Proteas pace trio of Ngidi, Rabada and Nandre Burger picked up three wickets each.
Earlier in the day, India rode on Mohammed Siraj’s six-wicket haul to bowl South Africa for a mere 55 in the first session.
Cricket fraternity was left stunned to see India’s batting collapse and 20 wickets falling in a single day, with plenty of overs still left.
