During the 2nd innings of the Boxing Day Test between India and South Africa, the Indian seamer, Mohammed Siraj accidentally bowled a freebie to the Proteas skipper, Dean Elgar on Day 4. It was a slowish bouncer from Siraj to Elgar, who smashed the poor delivery to the boundary. After the South African scored the boundary, India captain Virat Kohli was seen smiling on Siraj.

On the final day of the Boxing Day Test between South Africa and India, an unnecessary incident took place in the middle during the 62nd over of the innings. Bavuma defended a good length delivery back to bowler Mohammed Siraj who instinctively threw the ball back at the stumps thinking that the batter was outside the crease. But Bavuma was well inside and rather the ball ended up hitting the batter’s left heel, just next to the ankle.

Mohammed Siraj quickly apologized and also walked up to the batter putting an arm around his shoulder to look if he is fine. But Bavuma was in excruciating pain and the physio had to run in to attend him. The play was halted for some time which was crucial given the fact that most likely rain will come down at 3 PM local time according to the weather forecast.

Meanwhile, South Africa resumed at 94/4 on Day five and the duo of Dean Elgar and Bavuma were quick to add some runs making India nervous. They played some good shots punishing poor deliveries even as the Proteas skipper was dropped by Mohammed Shami off his own bowling. Things had started to look tricky for India but soon the bowlers were back to their best.

Jasprit Bumrah struck to remove Elgar and then Siraj and Shami also got into the groove to send back Quinton de Kock and Wiaan Mulder. Eventually, South Africa got bundled out for a meager score of 191 and lost the game by 113 runs with Bavuma being the unbeaten batter.
