India are all over South Africa in the ongoing second Test at Pune. The Protea top-order is back in the hut and the visitors are staring at defeat on Day 3. The pitch seemed to be pacer’s friendly as Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav did the maximum damage to the opposition. In the match dominated by the speedsters, India’s ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin produced a stunning delivery and castled the stumps of Quinton de Kock. The wicket-keeper looked shell-shocked by Ashwin’s ripper and made his way to the pavilion. Ashwin didn’t just tighten India’s grip over the match but also gained a lot of praise from the cricket lovers on social media. India Vs South Africa, Live Cricket Score 2nd Test Match.
Before facing Ashwin’s ripper, De Kock was settled on 31 and was eyeing to take South Africa out of the trouble. Unfortunately, the southpaw faced a peach of a delivery and that became the reason for his ouster. The ball was pitched on good length which squared up the left-handed batsman and his timber was disturbed. The delivery just didn’t baffle De Kock but also made Twitter go gaga over Ashwin.

Coming to the 2nd India vs South Africa Test, Skipper Virat Kohli slammed his seventh double ton (254) and guided the host to 601/5 in the first innings before calling declaration. Apart from Kohli, Mayank Agarwal (108) and Ravindra Jadeja (91) made significant contributions. In the second innings, the South African top order was rattled by the duo of Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav. So, India have the upper hand in the match and will aim to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
