South Africa will take on India in the second and the final Test of the series at the Newlands in Cape Town. After demolishing the challenge of the Indian cricket team in the first Test by an innings and 32 runs, the Proteas have all the momentum going into the upcoming fixture. But, while Team India is struggling in all departments of the game, they have the ability to bounce back from adverse situations, which is something the South African cricket team should be wary of.
Indian batting line-up was toothless in front of a high quality South African bowling attack on a very difficult pitch with only KL Rahul and Virat Kohli playing a couple of good innings, but it was far from enough for them. The bowling effort from Team India was nothing much to write home about since only Jasprit Bumrah seemed to threaten the opposition batters at certain stages of their innings.
