MUMBAI - Fast bowler Mohammed Shami picked up a five-wicket haul while left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja took four in South Africa’s second innings to bowl India to a comprehensive 203-run victory in the opening test at Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
It was, however, Shami who jolted South Africa’s hopes of salvaging a draw with his early strikes before he returned to complete his fifth five-wicket haul. Tailender Dane Piedt and debutant all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy showed the grit and determination that was missing from their top and middle order batsmen in a ninth-wicket stand of 91.
Ravichandran Ashwin provided the early breakthrough on Sunday when Theunis de Bruyn chopped on the off-spinner.
