IND vs SA: Team India created history in Cape Town

IND vs SA 2nd Test Match: The second and decisive match of the two-match Test series between India and South Africa is being played at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. Team India has made a great start in this match. In the match, Africa won the toss and decided to bat first. But Indian bowlers have proved this decision of South Africa wrong.

History created in Cape Town

Team India bowled out South Africa for 55 runs in the first innings of the Cape Town Test match. This is the first time that Team India has restricted any team to such a low score in a Test. The special thing was that the Indian bowlers took all the 10 wickets of South Africa in the very first session of the match. All these 10 wickets were in the name of fast bowlers. With this, while playing at home, the South African team was reduced to the smallest score in the Test.
