Legendary Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah once again turned effective as he went on to draw the first blood for the Indians. The South Africans scored runs quickly as they went past a half-century stand within the first 10 overs of the innings.
India and South Africa are starting their first Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Shubman Gill once again lost the toss, and the opposition skipper, Temba Bavuma, opted to bat first against the Indian attack comprising four spinners.
India has Jasprit Bumrah leading the pace attack, with only Mohammed Siraj in the Indian team as the other pacer. They have the likes of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar as the spinners in the side.
