IND vs SA 3rd Test 2019: India played yet another great game against Proteas in IND vs SA 3rd Test Day 3. South Africa suffered a severe batting collapse on the Day 3 in the 1st and 2nd innings. South Africa, who started the day at 9 for 2 in the first innings on Day 3, were bowled out for 162.

At the start of the day, South Africa came on to bat at 9/2 in their first innings. The Proteas batting line-up was dented by the hosts and were bundled out for mere 162 runs. After being enforced a follow on, the visitors continued their dismal run and lost wickets upfront.

De Bruyn, who played the first two Tests for South Africa, was left of the initial playing XI in the third Test. However, the concussion injury to Elgar gave De Bruyn a chance to bat and the latter will certainly want to make a mark. The concussion rule was introduced just before the Ashes 2019.

After enforcing a follow-on on South Africa in the third Test in Ranchi, the Indian captain Virat Kohli surpassed Mohammad Azharuddin to enforce most number of follow-ons on opposition among Indian players. With this, Indian team has enforced follow-on 8 times under the leadership of Virat Kohli. Azhar, who lead India in 47 Tests, had enforced follow-on 7 times on opposition.

The visitors again got a miserable start as Quinton de Kock and Zubayr Hamza were dismissed early. At present, Henrich Klaseen and Dean Elgar are on the crease batting at 0 and 16 respectively. The duo will aim to put on some fight and make a comeback.

Interestingly, all three of Shahbaz Nadeem’s overs prior to his wicket had been maidens. When he dismissed Bavuma, Nadeem’s – playing at his home ground – figures read 3.2 overs. 3 three maidens, 0 runs and 1 wicket. Bavuma, who was looking good for his 14th half-century was edging towards a big score before Nadeem’s sharp turner left him bamboozled.

Earlier in the day, South Africa started their innings at 9/2 with Skipper Faf du Plessis and Zubayr Hamza on the crease. The captain fell early to Yadav but Hamza proved his mettle and notched up his maiden Test fifty. However, he fell prey to Ashwin on 63 and the pressure was back on the visitors.

Hamza warmed the benches in the first two Tests but the latter got the place in the playing XI in the third clash. The batsman grabbed the chance with both hands and made a mark for himself. This was also Hamza’s maiden Test fifty and couldn’t come in a better time.

Rohit Sharma was the star of India vs South Africa 3rd Test Day 2 after smashing his first Test double century in the match.
