IND vs SA: Team India's horrendous collapse against South Africa

First, it was KL Rahul, who edged the ball to the wicketkeeper. Then Ravindra Jadeja fell two balls later. Bumrah came and Bumrah went in the same over. Virat Kohli, who was batting on 46, could not manage to add a single sun to the scoresheet as he also departed to Rabada. To make matters worse, Siraj suffered an odd mix-up with Prasidh Krishna and got run out. Krishna then lasted only two balls as India's innings folded for just 153 runs. Commentator Pommie Mbangwa was stunned by the proceedings as he said ‘I absolutely can’t believe it' after seeing India's batsman falling like a pack of cards.
