India vs South Africa
India vs South Africa: Team India has ended the tour of South Africa with a win. Team India won by 7 wickets in the second and last match of the Test series played at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. This was the first time that Team India defeated South Africa on this ground in Cape Town. Indian team captain Rohit Sharma gave a big statement on this historic victory.
How historic is the victory in Cape Town?
Indian captain Rohit Sharma termed the win in the Cape Town Test match as one of the best in the Test format and compared it to the historic win against Australia at the Gabba in 2021. Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj together took 15 out of 20 wickets of South Africa, as India made a brilliant comeback by defeating the hosts within five sessions. India lost the first Test by an innings and 32 runs in Centurion.
Captain Rohit Sharma gave a big statement
After the end of the shortest match in Test history, Rohit said that this is one of our best Test wins. We never won here, this tops all our victories. He doesn’t want to compare it with any other Test win but Rohit feels that the win in Brisbane was equally important because the touring team had not been able to beat Australia there in 33 years. Rohit said that it is difficult to compare with Test wins elsewhere. It is difficult to rank these tests. Every test match has its own importance. I think Australia last lost at the Gabba in 1988. So it became their stronghold and the way we won the Test was important.
This was said on the points table of WTC
The Indian team has reached the top of the points table of the World Test Championship and the captain said that it was important to win this match after losing points due to slow over-rate. He said that winning the Test match is important. This is a good start to the new year. We lost a few points due to over-rate so this win was important.
