Matthew Breetzke's promising innings came to an abrupt end in the second T20 between India and South Africa, marked by a regrettable mix-up with partner Reeza Hendricks. The incident occurred in the 3rd over, with Jadeja bowling to Hendricks. Breetzke, looking for a second run, found himself on a different wavelength than Hendricks. The confusion reached its peak when both batters ended up at the non-striker's end.

Watch - Breetzke sacrifices his wicket

Tilak Varma swiftly seized the opportunity, throwing the ball to Jadeja, who, in turn, sent it to wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma. The accurate throw left Breetzke stranded, and he was run out as Jitesh Sharma dislodged the bails. Despite Hendricks signaling him to stop, Breetzke charged down the pitch for a non-existent run, falling victim to his nervous energy.

Breetzke's dismissal proved costly for South Africa, who needed 152 runs in 15 overs due to rain disruptions. As the game resumed, Suryakumar Yadav strategically introduced left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja to apply pressure on the South African openers.

At the time of writing, South Africa at 79 for 1 in 7 overs.
