Indian pacer, Mohammed Siraj emerged as the hero for the Indian team during the India vs South Africa 2nd Test match,by claiming the crucial wicket of South African stand-in skipper Dean Elgar. The breakthrough occurred in the 5th over of the match, just after Siraj had dismissed Aiden Markram.

Siraj showcased his bowling prowess by delivering a couple of in-swingers on the pads, setting the stage for Elgar's departure. The decisive moment came when Siraj bowled a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, tempting Elgar to guide the ball through the off side. However, Elgar's attempt ended in disappointment as he got an inside edge, sending the ball back onto his stumps.
