After the match, South African captain Dean Elgar himself talked about this pitch. “This (pitch) generally plays a little slow and as a batsman you can set up and play a good innings,” Elgar said during an interview with Star Sports after the end of the day’s play. But as the session progressed, the pitch got faster.” Meanwhile, South Africa’s batting consultant Ashwell Prince spoke openly about this pitch. Ashwell Prince understands the Cape Town pitch very well and, he too was stunned to see that pitch. He had never seen such bounce and speed on this pitch before. Apart from this, he also talked about the seam movement he was getting from the pitch. Dean Elgar also supported Prince’s comment and he also talked about the bounce being provided by this pitch. They said that, “The bowlers were getting a lot of bounce from the Vinberg End, while the ball bowled from the Kelvin Grove End was coming very fast. This variation in bounce made it even more difficult for the batsmen to score runs here.”

RSA v IND (Photo Source: Getty Images) The second test match between India and South Africa is being played from today at Newlands, Cape Town.

Let us tell you that spin maestro Ashwin had taken only one wicket in the first Test in Centurion. Whereas Shardul Thakur took the important wicket of Dean Elgar, but he proved to be very expensive. Ravindra Jadeja has been included in place of Ashwin, while Mukesh Kumar has been included in place of Shardul. In the first test, Shardul failed to perform well with both ball and bat. Whereas Jadeja has played only one Test in South Africa and took six wickets in that match. It has often been seen that the team management shows confidence in Jadeja rather than Ashwin, as the left-arm spinner is considered as an experienced batsman. Famous Krishna managed to retain his place Captain Rohit Sharma was seen spending time with Mukesh Kumar during training and since then there was every possibility of him being included in the playing eleven. However, Prasidh Krishna did not perform well in the Centurion Test and it was believed that Mukesh could play in his place, but Prasidh managed to retain his place. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the second Test with a hamstring injury, while Gerald Coetzee has also been ruled out with inflammation in his pelvis. On the other hand, Tristan Stubbs made his debut. Also read- Virat Kohli shines in ICC Test Rankings, jumps four places, only Indian batsman in top-10
