After getting Ryan Rickelton, Ravindra Jadeja also dismissed the other opener, Aiden Markram, on Day 4 of the second Test between India and South Africa in Guwahati on Tuesday, November 25. The left-arm spinner knocked over Markram for 29 as the tourists lost their second wicket for 74.

The dismissal came in the 29th over of the Proteas’ second innings. Jadeja bowled a length ball from wide of the crease on middle and leg, which spun slightly after pitching. Markram failed to read the line of the ball as the ball beat his forward defence to crash into the off-stump. It was the third instance when Jadeja dismissed Markram in Tests (55 balls).

Earlier in the day, Jadeja provided the first breakthrough as Rickelton miscued one to Mohammed Siraj at cover, perishing for 35 off 64 deliveries.
