South Africa won the opening Test by 30 runs at Eden Gardens on Sunday, November 16. The Temba Bavuma-led team took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. India were chasing 124 on the third day but collapsed for just 93 runs. With skipper Shubman Gill unavailable due to injury, Rishabh Pant captained the side.
“We feel a game like this, you can’t dwell on it too much. We should have chased this score, but pressure kept building on us in the 2nd innings, and we didn’t capitalise enough,” Pant said at the post-match presentation.
