Team India pace-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah provided a breakthrough for his team on Day 1 (Saturday, November 22) of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Bumrah ended the partnership between Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton just before the break.
The right-arm pacer troubled South Africa with his tight bowling during the first spell. Bumrah induced an edge from Markram’s bat, but KL Rahul dropped a straightforward catch. However, he ended the session by dismissing the right-handed batter in the final over of the first session on the opening day.
Jasprit Bumrah provided the crucial breakthrough for India just before the tea interval in Guwahati. Bumrah was brought on for a short spell, and he struck immediately by dismantling Aiden Markram’s stumps, ending an 82-run opening stand that had frustrated the hosts.
Markram attempted an ambitious drive at a fuller delivery outside off, but with limited footwork, he got a thick inside edge that crashed into the middle stump. The dismissal triggered loud celebrations among the Indian supporters, while KL Rahul, who had dropped Markram on 4, looked visibly relieved.
Bumrah’s ability to change the game in a single over justified Rishabh Pant’s decision to recall him moments before the break. The wicket gave India much-needed relief in the must-win encounter to keep the Test series alive.

Aiden Markram Dropped on 4 by KL Rahul Off Jasprit Bumrah
Temba Bavuma’s decision to bat first paid dividends early. Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton handled the initial burst from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj without panic. India’s fast bowlers were denied any early success with the new ball.
India had a chance to break through when Bumrah found an edge off Markram, but KL Rahul spilled the catch in the slips. The Proteas batters adjusted well to the conditions and India’s attack, rotating the strike and punishing loose deliveries.
Rishabh Pant made one last attempt to break the stand before Tea, bringing Bumrah back for a short burst. Bumrah bowled Markram for 38 on the fifth ball of the 27th over. South Africa reached the interval at 82 for 1, still well-placed despite the late wicket.
