Viral video shows how Virat Kohli planned Marco Jansen's wicket with Mohammed Siraj in 2nd test in Cape Town

Virat Kohli planned Marco Jansen’s wicket along with Mohammed Siraj.

Mohammed Siraj was just amazing with his bowling performance for India in the first innings of the ongoing second test against South Africa in Cape Town. Registering his best test figures, Mohammed Siraj got help from Virat Kohli who helped him plan the dismissal of Marco Jansen.

Dean Elgar, South Africa’s captain in his farewell test, won the toss and elected to bat first. Tristan Stubbs earned his test debut, and Lungi Ngidi and Keshav Maharaj were also named in the starting XI. India, on the other hand, replaced Ravi Ashwin with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur with Mukesh Kumar in the playing XI.

Despite scoring 405 runs in one innings in the Centurion test, South Africa’s batting performance took a complete 180-degree turn in the second test match.

With nearly nothing on the board, Mohammed Siraj unleashed his new ball and struck out the top three batters. Jasprit Bumrah assisted Siraj superbly and took two wickets himself. For South Africa, only David Bedingham and Kyle Verreynne scored in double digits.

Siraj outplayed South Africa’s batting, taking a career-high of 6/15, which is his third fifer in tests outside India. Mukesh Kumar then contributed two wickets but did not allow a run as South Africa were knocked out for 55 runs.

Virat Kohli signals Mohammed Siraj to bowl outswinger to Marco Jansen to get his edge

Mohammed Siraj completed his five-fer in the first session of South Africa-India Newlands test.

Standing in slips, Kohli summoned Siraj and instructed him to bowl an outswinger to Marco Jansen, which would angle into the batter, this would get the batter to edge the ball to keeper KL Rahul.

Siraj did as he was told with the ball pitching on a full-length and slanted in just outside the off stump. Jansen came forward on his front foot and defended but the ball nicked his outside edge and KL Rahul took an easy catch behind the stumps.
