India vs South Africa, 2nd Test Day 2: India defeated South Africa by 7 wickets on Thursday to level up the two-match Test series 1-1. The victory surely belongs to the Indian pacers led by Mohammed Siraj, who consistently delivered exceptional spells on both days, even as Indian batters struggled to recover from the nightmare of Centurion. The extra bouncy pitch of Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town provided a clear edge to pacers with batters of both teams crumbling like cards.

Rohit Sharma-led Team India was in Cape Town with new hopes as they were looking to stage a comeback from the big defeat of Centurion. The Indian skipper didn't have the luck on his side as South Africa won the toss, but that's what fate had decided for India. Batting first, South Africa couldn't figure out what went wrong as a man named Mohammed Siraj demolished them like a pack of cards.

The dangerous South African batters were looking nervous against Indian pacers as Jaspirt Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar also tabled their A game. The mighty Proteas were back to the pavilion on the score of 55, courtesy Mohammed Siraj's 6-wicket haul. Now, it was the Indian batter's chance to shine and win their glory back in Cape Town.

Rohit Sharma and the young Yashasvi Jaiswal began India's innings and the batters looked good in the beginning. But, Kagiso Rabada wanted some thrill in the game and he started with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill managed to put some runs on the scoreboard, but South African pacers were intensifying their attack.
