In the second Test against South Africa being played at the Wanderers ground in Johannesburg, India is busy trying to save its target and defeat South Africa. Today, when South Africa’s batsmen will enter the field with a bat in the field, then they will have a target of 122 runs to win this match. He still has 8 wickets in his hand. There are still two days to go and South Africa have a lot of time and a lot of wickets left.
In such a situation, it is a very difficult challenge for India to capture the match tightly to South Africa. In this innings, the first innings edge was not visible in the bowling of India’s bowlers. However, cricket is a game of possibilities. Anything can happen. But, Surat-e-Hal tells that Africa’s balance is quite heavy at the moment. However, today’s match could not start till the writing of the news due to rain.
What did Gautam Gambhir say?
Former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir believes that Team India should not lose faith. The big trouble for the Indian team has been Dean Elgar (Captain South Africa), who has not been easy for the Indian bowlers in the innings of this series.
At present, Dean is stuck at the crease after scoring 46 runs. Gautam Gambhir in his special conversation on ‘Star Sports’ Gautam Gambhir said, “It is only a matter of 8 balls. If you take a good wicket, you will be able to take one or two more wickets. You can drop middle order and lower order. So I guess anything can happen.”

shardul thakur praised
Gautam Gambhir also praised the Indian team’s all-rounder and dynamic bowler Shardul Thakur, who has bowled excellently in this match. It is noteworthy that Shardul Thakur took 7 important wickets in the first innings of this match and 1 very important wicket in the second innings, that too at a time when Aiden Markram was in the mood to finish the match with his fiery batting on the third day itself. were coming.
Gautam said, Aiden Markram is the person who gave a tremendous start to this team. Because a great start is very important. When you face bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, you can make the mistake of taking bowlers like Shardul Thakur lightly. But it was a good over. It is not just a matter of one ball, but the bowling was excellent in that over itself.
There is still a chance of victory for India
Gautam Gambhir further said, “I think Shardul was very, very good. They stuck to their plans. Did nothing outside of his planning and just kept bowling good line and length and he got his reward. Because, a lot is happening outside the wicket.
When a lot is happening outside the wicket, you don’t need to put in a lot of effort. That’s why I say things can happen tomorrow (South Africa vs India Test Match). Because, you just need to have faith and keep thinking about good deliveries (Johannesburg Test Match India vs South Africa, 2022).”
