South Africa has defeated India by 30 runs in the Kolkata Test. This match ended in about two and a half days. Team India had got the target of 124 runs in the fourth innings, but in reply the entire Indian team collapsed for 93 runs. In India’s second innings, 7 batsmen could not even touch double figures in terms of runs, out of which four batsmen could not even open their account. Know here what were the three biggest reasons for the defeat of the Indian team.

Bad start in both innings

Spin bowlers started dominating the match from the second day itself. The Indian team could not make a good start in both the innings of this match. In the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul together added 18 runs, but in the second innings the first wicket fell at zero. Overall, especially Jaiswal could not lay the foundation of Team India’s big score.

The bowling was weak in the second innings

Team India had a lead of 30 runs in the first innings. Indian bowlers had reduced South Africa’s 7 wickets for just 91 runs in the second innings. But the last 3 wickets of Africa added 62 runs, which proved very costly for the Indian batsmen.
