South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Kyle Verreynne threw away his wicket with a poor shot during the second innings of the first Test against India at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel picked up his first wicket of the innings on Day 2 Saturday, November 15 amid South Africa's batting collapse.
India were dismissed for 189 earlier in the day. The hosts took only a 30-run lead after the first innings of the two teams. Simon Harmer was the pick of the bowlers for the Proteas, with four wickets, while Marco Jansen added three more. With Shubman Gill unavailable, vice-captain Rishabh Pant is leading India.
Kyle Verreynne played a reckless shot in South Africa's second innings. On the fifth delivery of the 28th over, the wicketkeeper-batter attempted an unnecessary sweep against Axar Patel. However, he completely misjudged the delivery, leaving his stumps shattered.
