In the second test, South Africa’s first innings ended at 404 runs. In this test match being played in Rawalpindi, it has got a lead of 71 runs over Pakistan. Actually, when the African team was bowling, Keshav Maharaj had dismissed 7 batsmen of the Pakistani team. Now the number 11 batsman has also overpowered the Pakistani bowlers. The partnership of 98 runs for the last wicket was possible because all the batsmen were playing in the playing eleven of South Africa.
All batsmen in playing eleven
If we look at the playing eleven of South Africa, captain Aiden Markram is in it. Markram opened with Ryan Rickelton, followed by Tristan Stubbs and Tony DeGeorge, playing at number three and four respectively, scoring half-centuries of 76 and 55 runs. Dewald Brevis, who came at number five, could not open his account. After him came wicketkeeper Kyle Verreyen and Senuran Muthuswamy, who came to play at number 7, is a batting all-rounder, who returned unbeaten after scoring 89 runs in the first innings of the Rawalpindi Test.
Simon Harmer is playing as a bowler, but his first-class figures show something else. Because he has 2 centuries and 33 fifties in his first-class career. Marco Jansen is one of the world famous all-rounders, who was seen batting at number-9 against Pakistan. Keshav Maharaj calls himself a bowler, but his batting figures, especially in Tests, prove him to be an all-rounder.
Kagiso Rabada came to bat at number 11, who has played an inning of 71 runs against Pakistan. This is the first half-century of his Test career, but Rabada has been proving earlier also that he has plenty of classic shots.
