During the second Test match between South Africa and India, Virat Kohli was seen having a good time. At the field, he was spotted dancing with Shubman Gill. At the moment, the Cape Town stadium known as Newlands is hosting the Test match. Following Tristan Stubbs’ return, the batting tandem had some fun together. Social media users witnessed the two having a great time on the pitch as their video went viral.
South Africa lost the toss and chose to bat first, and in 23.2 overs, they were bowled out for a pathetic 55. Among the bowlers, Mohammed Siraj was the best; he tore apart the hosts with an exquisite spell. The Pacers managed to accumulate incredible stats of 6/15.
India was 153/4 and well-positioned to take a decisive lead with 33 overs to go. But after losing six wickets and 0 runs in 11 balls, the visitors were dismissed for 153 in 34.5 overs. It was an unbelievable fall. An amazing batting collapse was produced by Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Nandre Burger, who each claimed three wickets.

Restricting India’s lead to just 98 runs, South Africa finished at stumps with 62/3, trailing India by just 36 runs. Tomorrow, the hosts David Bedingham and Aiden Markram will take the field once more.
Sanjay Manjrekar attributed the collapses on Day 1 of the second Test between South Africa and India in Cape Town to the new-age batting. Speaking to Star Sports, Manjrekar said that he thought the modern batting techniques and the pitch both had a part in both teams’ collapses.
According to Sanjay Manjrekar, “I believe the pitch plays a big part in it. It may have something to do with modern batting, which understandably has made defence less of a priority than it once was—Test cricket has historically ranked third among all formats. Thus, these things occur in the pitch if there is some life. The bowlers appeared to be in Cape Town wearing a cape.”
Apart from this, With his unmatched skill and unwavering dedication to perfection, Virat Kohli, the modern-day cricket maestro, never stops winning over new admirers in the cricket community and beyond. He already has a sizable fan base.
One of Virat Kohli’s biggest achievements is that he has improved cricket outside of cricket-playing countries in addition to becoming a cult figure among cricket enthusiasts. The sports director of the Los Angeles 2023 Organizing Committee recognized that Virat Kohli’s widespread popularity played a significant role in securing cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, demonstrating the considerable efforts Virat made to promote the game across the globe.
