On Wednesday, just before Tea, Bumrah knocked South Africa loopy when he clean bowled Jansen to bring the South Africa down to 7 wickets.
After castling Jansen, he just shot a steely gaze at the South Africa player, something that Jansen was happy to reply to in kind. Not a word was exchanged between them, but a lot was said here.
For the uninitiated, the second session of the 2nd Test between India and South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg witnessed a tense moment on the field when Bumrah and Jansen exchanged heated words in a mid-pitch confrontation.
As the South Africa duo of Ra bad a and Jansen tried to bounce the Indians out, the visitors fought back with the willow and did not mind sustaining a few blows. It all began in the 54th over of India’s second innings, when Jansen began with a shortish delivery which struck Bumrah on the shoulder. A couple of balls later, once again, the left-arm pacer went short and struck Bumrah on the shoulder, but the Indian pacer responded by dusting it off and showed no signs of pain.
This probably fired up Jansen, and he bowled it short. Bumrah, who went for an all might swipe, missed it completely. Jansen gave him a stare, Bumrah stared back, and then they both muttered something and then charged towards each other. The situation was immediately diffused by Umpire Erasmus.
Keegan Petersen remained unbeaten on 70 to take South Africa to 176 for seven at tea on the second day of the series-deciding third Test against India here on Wednesday.
Petersen, who is unbeaten in 70 was in the middle when tea was called.
It was a productive session for the visitors as the Indian bowlers snared four wickets. Mohammad Sham snared two wickets, while Umesh and bum rah picked a wicket apiece. South Africa trail India by 47 runs.
