India Vs South Africa 4th Test Match, Cricket Highlights – 2015 – 4rd December. India – South Africa Test Tour-2015 , 4th Test Match: India V South Africa at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi, Dec 03-Dec 07, 2015 Cricket Highlights.

India Squad: 1 Virat kohli(C), 2 Varun Aron, 3 R Ashwin, 4 Stuart Binny, 5 Shikhar Dhawan, 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 B Kumar, 8 Amit Mishra, 9 Cheteshwar pujara, 10 Ajinkya Rahane, 11 Lokesh Rahul, 12 W Saha, 13 Ishant Sharma, 14 Rohit Sharma, 15 Murli Vijay,16 Umesh Yadav

South Africa Squad: 1 Hashim Amla(C), 2 AB De Villiars, 3 Temba Bavuma, 4 Jean-Paul Duminy, 5 Faf Du Plesis, 6 Dean Elgar, 7 Simon Harmer, 8 Imran Tahir, 9 Morne Morkel, 10 Vernon Philander, 11 Dane Piedt, 12 Kagiso Rabada, 13 Dale Steyn, 14 Stiaan Van Zyl, 15 Dane Vilas.
Considering they were effectively operating with a three-man attack, South Africa did incredibly well to take seven wickets on a pitch that was better for batting than the one in Nagpur. However, the surface was not docile enough to afford India the luxury of facing an inept fourth bowler, and the lack of support for South Africa’s frontline meant the batsmen could score freely when the first-choice bowlers were taken off or were tiring.

 

India ended the day on 231 for 7, the highest total of the series, but they might have struggled to make 200 had Imran Tahir not been in awful form. The two new bowlers in South Africa’s XI, offspinner Dane Piedt and seamer Kyle Abbott, were incisive and displayed impressive stamina, taking four and three wickets apiece, and though Morne Morkel did not strike, he offered control. Tahir, however, bowled for only seven overs on the first day because he conceded 36 runs, serving up a buffet of full tosses and long-hops. The real damage to South Africa was in the overs Tahir could not bowl, because the rest were less threatening to face and easier to score off as they tired: Piedt bowled 34 overs, Morkel 17 and Abbott 17 for only 23 runs.

The only Indian batsman good enough to battle through the hard periods and cash in on the good times was Ajinkya Rahane, who achieved his maiden half-century in India in his seventh innings and was approaching a fifth Test hundred, when bad light ended play six overs before stumps. His brisk partnership of 70 with Virat Kohli steadied India after a top-order wobble, and his rearguard stands with Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin ensured India survived the day. A total of 250 will challenging on this surface, especially if a team has four reliable bowlers to call upon.
