In the Cape Town Test, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli decided to replace Mohammed Siraj with Umesh Yadav and on the second day of the Test, Umesh also proved why Virat had reposed so much trust in him. Umesh gave India a significant breakthrough by cleaning up the dangerous-looking Keshav Maharaj.

It was the second ball of the 21st over, which Keshav Maharaj did not judge well, and a brilliant delivery from Umesh Yadav sent the middle stump for a cartwheel. After losing his wicket, Maharaj looked disheartened and he was seen walking towards the pavilion in despair.
