IND vs SA: How to get Marco Jansen’s name right? And Gerald Coetzee’s too | Cricket News

IND vs SA: Just as Sanju Samson was making mincemeat of the South African bowlers in the last T20, some of their names were unfortunately getting mangled too.

But only till Indian cricket fans get used to them, and start chanting them properly. Remember Danny Archer from Blood Diamond? Though Rhodesian, that’s usually the charming cadence to African names. Here goes: Ryan Rickleton (Raa-yin Rickul-tuhn) Somehow it’s not like Gosling or Reynolds, it’s better because it’s a South African cricketer.

Watch: Kohli’s gesture wins internet as ‘Ram Siya Ram’ plays at Maharaj’s entry | Cricket

Team India displayed a phenomenal bowling performance during the opening session of Day 1 in the second and final Test against South Africa. After being asked to bowl, India dismantled the Proteas batting lineup, dismissing them for merely 55 in Cape Town as the hosts registered their lowest total against an Indian team in Test history. Mohammed Siraj was the star of the first innings, registering an incredible 6/15 figures, while Jasprit Bumrah and debutant Mukesh Kumar picked two each. Virat Kohli’s gesture as Keshav Maharaj arrives at the crease(X) India came on the back of a dismal innings-and-32-run loss in the first Test of the series in Centurion but showed no signs of being on the backfoot.
