"Yaar bhai fir se wahi remote wali ball" - Top 10 funny memes as Team India skittle out South Africa for 55 in 1st innings of 2nd Test in Cape Town
South Africa's batters failed to deliver in the first innings of the 2nd Test against Team India. They were dismissed for a mere 55 within the first session of play on Wednesday (January 3) in Cape Town.
The hosts came into the match high on confidence after a dominant victory against India in the Boxing Day Test last week in Centurion (by an innings and 32 runs). In In the second Test, Proteas captain Dean Elgar won the toss and opted to bat first.
Everything went downhill for them after that though, as their batting unit collapsed like a house of cards against a rampaging Indian pace attack. Mohammed Siraj bowled a fiery nine-over spell and ended with phenomenal figures of 6/15.
Jasprit Bumrah (2/25) and Mukesh Kumar (2/0) picked up the remainder of the wickets to dismiss the hosts for 55 in 23.2 overs. This is South Africa's lowest total in Test cricket since their readmission. David Bedingham (12) and Kyle Verreynne (15) were the only batters to score in double digits for the hosts.
Fans enjoyed the magnificent bowling performance of the Indian pacers and expressed their reactions on social media platforms by sharing hilarious memes.

Rohit Sharma gives India a brisk start after Yashasvi Jaiswal departs early
The visitors got off to a brisk start as Rohit Sharma hit three fours in the second over against Lungi Ngidi. Kagiso Rabada then cleaned up Yashasvi Jaiswal for a seven-ball duck to peg India back.
That did not deter Rohit Sharma as he continued to play his strokes freely and helped his side reach 50 in just 7.3 overs.
At the time of writing, India were 58/1 at the end of 10 overs, leading by three runs. India would be hoping to win the second Test and tie the two-match series at 1-1.
