India is currently stuck in a cricket banter against South Africa in Vishakhapatnam. This is the first match of a three-match Test series. India posted a mammoth total of 502 runs and declared their innings. It looked pretty difficult for the Proteas batsmen to chase down the total posted by the hosts on the scoreboard in its first innings.

A moment came in the match when the visitors were stuck in a difficult situation after they lost their four wickets at a score of 63 but after that, a brilliant knock of Dean Elgar who was well partnered by Quinton De Kock, as well as Faf du Plessis, took out their team who were struggling to avoid follow on at one moment.

On day 3, like other Indian bowlers, Ishant Sharma was also trying to get the wickets of South Africa and he got successful in getting a wicket of Temba Bavuma on a brilliant dipping delivery, which directly got into the pads of the South African batsman and was given leg before wicket.

However, after this wicket BCCI took their Twitter handle and went on to praise Ishant Sharma for his wicket-taking ball, and wrote, “Here it is, a brilliant delivery by @ImIshant to get rid of Bavuma on Day 3 of the 1st Test” but the BCCI didn’t attach the video of the wicket taken by Delhiite. Instead of that, they added a video clip in which Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma are celebrating the fall of the wicket.

Later, this BCCI error was caught by Iceland Cricket and then they went onto to troll BCCI over their silly mistake by retweeting to their post and wrote, “Here it is a brilliant delivery. Delivery not included. Here it is, the Beatles reunion concert! <Video of audience clapping>. Here it is, the second coming of Jesus! <Video of surprised atheist>. Here it is, the end of the world! <Video of futures trader rolling eyes> #INDvSA”

In the first Test match, Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal did a record partnership of 317 runs while opening for India in return from South Africa, Dean Elgar (160) remained the top scorer of the visitors followed by Quinton De Kock (111) who was the second centurion in South Africa batting line up. R Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers among Indians who got his 27th fifer in Tests.
