US EditionIndia Close in on Win over South Africa After Jadeja Heroics
Ravindra Jadeja's four wickets helped reduce South Africa to 93/7, giving India a 63-run lead in a match that could end on day three, officials said.
- On Saturday, India spinner Ravindra Jadeja took four wickets from the Pavilion End, reducing South Africa to 93/7 in 35 overs at stumps at Eden Gardens, leaving India 63 runs ahead.
- After India were dismissed for 189, Shubman Gill retired hurt with a neck spasm, and South Africa's batting collapsed under high-quality spin and questionable shot selection.
- In the final session, Jadeja's variations produced several edges and mis-hits, including Wiaan Mulder's outside edge held by Rishabh Pant, and Dhruv Jurel caught Aiden Markram, sealing the wickets.
- Despite the scoreline, the match remains on a knife's edge, as a chase of 125 would require South Africa to nearly double their lead on the surface.
- The pitch's variable bounce and sharp turn have made batting difficult, and with day three possibly the final day, bowlers may finish the match early.
