Summary
- Sai Sudharsan dismissed for 15 after brilliant catch by Ryan Rickelton.
- The catch involved a juggling act before securing the dismissal.
- India lost three wickets before tea, ending the session at 102-4.
Sai Sudharsan's attempt to solidify India's No. 3 position ended abruptly at 15 runs due to an extraordinary catch by Ryan Rickelton. The dismissal occurred in the final moments before the tea break on Day 3 of the second Test. Rickelton's athletic display involved multiple grabs to secure the crucial wicket.
The Proteas bowlers found their rhythm on a deteriorating pitch, making batting challenging. Sudharsan's departure, along with Dhruv Jurel's quick duck, further unsettled the hosts, who were aiming to surpass South Africa's first-innings score of 489. India found themselves in a difficult situation at 102-4 by the end of the session.
This loss of wickets came after a period where India seemed relatively stable at 95-1. The aggressive pull shot that led to Sudharsan's dismissal highlighted the pressure and changing dynamics of the game as the match progressed.
