Rohit Sharma‘s team showed bravery and tenacity to recover in Cape Town after losing the opening Test of the series against South Africa by a massive margin of an innings and thirty-two runs. After that, the tourists won the second match by seven wickets to draw the series even at one. In what turned out to be the quickest Test match ever finished in terms of balls bowled (642), India defeated the Proteas with a clinical score.
Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian cricket player, spoke about the same victory and claimed that the team’s triumph in Cape Town served as proof of their tenacity. After limiting the hosts to a meager 55 runs in the first inning, India maintained their lead. Former cricketer Irfan Pathan talked about how the Indian team’s confidence would rise after this win.
Regarding India’s victory over South Africa in the second test at Cape Town, Sunil Gavaskar exclusively discusses his thoughts on Star Sports’ “Follow the Blues” program.
He states, “After the kind of defeat we had in 3 days where we lost by innings, the way the Indian team has played and the way they have bowled has been amazing. As the opposition team was all out in 55, it shows the determination of the Indian team.”
About the confidence and morale boost that team India will receive following their victory over South Africa, Irfan Pathan expressed his thoughts as follows: “If you have a shorter turnaround time, then your confidence also goes down, but during this time the victory was well deserved for the first time in Cape Town.” We triumphed in the fastest-ever cricket match in history as well. The bowling line was excellent, and in the opening innings, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill appeared to be more at ease among the Indian batters.”
