As South Africa resumed from their overnight score of 62/3, Jasprit Bumrah struck four times in the first hour of the first session to complete his five-wicket haul and leave South Africa reeling at 111/7. Bumrah picked the wicket of debutant Tristan Stubbs in the final minutes of Day 1.

Notably, Jasprit Bumrah made his Test debut at the same venue against South Africa on January 5, 2018. Overall, the 30-year-old has now picked nine Test five-fors.

The star pacer picked two wickets in the first innings and helped India bundled out South Africa for 55 in the first innings. He has been exceptional since his comeback to international cricket after a year-long injury layoff. He picked four wickets in the only innings India bowled in the first Test match in Johannesburg.
