OUT! Bowled. Prasidh Krishna to Ottniel Baartman. Reverse Swing-In half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed. South Africa have been bowled out for 270. Quinton de Kock was exceptional and brought up a classy century before being dismissed by Prasidh Krishna. Temba Bavuma looked solid with 48 but fell just short of a well-deserved fifty. Despite a strong platform, the middle order couldn't capitalise, and South Africa ultimately fell short of a commanding total. It was an impressive fightback from the Indian bowlers after the first drinks break. Prasidh Krishna, expensive in his opening spell, returned brilliantly in his second to make crucial breakthroughs. Kuldeep Yadav provided excellent support, and the pair ended with four wickets each to turn the innings in India's favour. Will India chase it down and complete the comeback, or will South Africa defend this total and snatch a memorable win on Indian soil? Stay tuned for the run chase!
