2nd Test: Rahul, Jaiswal Help India Escape Unscathed After Muthusamy-Jansen Take SA To 489
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: India’s openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal ensured there were no setbacks and reached 9/0 in 6.1 overs at stumps on day two’s play against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Due to light conditions deteriorating hugely, it brought another early end to the day, with India trailing South Africa by 480 runs.
Previously, South Africa posted a formidable 489 in their first innings, thanks to Senuran Muthusamy’s 109 – his maiden Test century and Marco Jansen’s explosive 93. The duo’s career best scores in Tests took them to a commanding total and put them in a good position to draw the game.
India’s innings began with Rahul and Jaiswal negotiating the new ball with composure. The hosts got their first boundary when Marco Jansen bowled down leg and Jaiswal flicked him through square leg.
