ravi-shastri-after-india-dramatic-collapse-goes-viral

Ravi Shastri went viral for his witty and humorous reaction over India’s jaw-dropping collapse against South Africa on the first day of the Newlands Test in Cape Town.

India, having dismissed the hosts for a meagre 55 before lunch, stepped up to bat with a promising start. However, what followed was an unprecedented turn of events as India, positioned at 153-4, succumbed to an astonishing collapse, losing their last six wickets without adding a single run – an unprecedented feat in Test cricket.

During the live coverage of the startling collapse, Ravi Shastri, in his inimitable style, humorously quipped on commentary, “If someone went around the corner for a dump and has come back, India has been bowled out for 153,” sarcastically summarizing the whirlwind turn of events.

Lungi Ngidi’s fiery three-wicket over started India’s downward spiral, dismissing key batsmen like KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah. The momentum shift continued as India’s lone warrior Virat Kohli fell to Kagiso Rabada after a commendable 46-run knock. The rapid downfall culminated with Mohammed Siraj’s run-out and Prasidh Krishna’s catch at slip, sealing India’s innings at 153.

The light-hearted comment from Ravi Shastri swiftly became viral on social media platforms.

Earlier in the match, South Africa had faced a massive collapse themselves, losing all ten wickets in just 23.2 overs and mustering a mere 55 runs. Mohammed Siraj emerged as India’s star performer, claiming a remarkable six-wicket haul, marking the second-fastest by an Indian in Test history.

South Africa later got bowled out for 176 runs in the second innings courtesy of Jasprit Bumrah’s six wickets. India now require 79 runs to win the second Test and level the series.
