Virat Kohli’s on-field advice to Mohammed Siraj during the ongoing second Test against South Africa, directing him to aim for a nick, resulted in Siraj dismissing Marco Jansen exactly as guided.
Former test skipper Virat Kohli’s guidance to Mohammed Siraj during the ongoing second Test against South Africa led to a remarkable outcome as Siraj dismissed Marco Jansen to achieve his fifth wicket. Just as Kohli’s instruction to target a nick caught by the keeper or aim early in the spell, Siraj executed the plan perfectly.
The delivery landed on a good length, creating uncertainty, and inducing an outside edge from Jansen attempting to defend. Keeper KL Rahul completed the catch. Siraj’s exceptional performance, left South Africa reeling at 34/6 after this wicket.

Siraj kickstarted the new year spectacularly, securing his career-best figures in Test cricket. The pacer showcased his skills by claiming six wickets in just nine overs, contributing significantly to South Africa’s shocking batting collapse on Day 1 of the match.
In his farewell Test for South Africa, captain Dean Elgar’s decision to bat first after winning the toss is not faring well as the team is struggling against India’s bowling attack.
India, looking to bounce back from their previous loss in the series opener, made two changes to their playing eleven. Ravindra Jadeja replaced Ravichandran Ashwin, while pacer Mukesh Kumar came in for seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur to strengthen the team’s composition.
