IND Vs SA: In India, considering the old figures and events as the basis, further estimates are also made. Especially in cricket, when it comes to a ground, there are already speculations that India has never lost here and it is auspicious for these players. There are many batsmen in cricket whose team wins the match after scoring a century. A similar figure is being seen in this match as well. Jasprit Bumrah took five wickets for the seventh time in Cape Town on Wednesday. After this feat of his, old victory figures were also seen. Veteran cricketer Parthiv Patel also made a tweet about all these figures, which is becoming fiercely viral. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has also advised him not to believe in such figures.
“Whenever Bumrah took five wickets in a test match, India didn’t lose the match,” Parthiv tweeted. Looks like it will continue this in Cape Town as well. Bumrah has taken five wickets seven times in his career, with six of his previous exploits being Johannesburg in 2018, Nottingham in 2018 and 2021, Melbourne in 2018, North Sound in 2019 and Kingston in 2019. India has won all those test matches. Parthiv feels that the Cape Town Test will also be repeated as before. Because the hosts could not reach the India score of the first innings.
Akash, however, gave some great examples of figures that refer to such myths. India suffered a defeat in the Johannesburg Test last week. Whereas, before this, India did not lose any Test with the 100-run partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. The two experienced middle-order batsmen have been involved in six century partnerships and won five of those Tests.
He tweeted, ‘I don’t want to make fun of it, but India had never lost a Test when Pujara-Rahane also had a 100-run partnership … until before the Johannesburg Test.
India did not win a single match in the previous 5 matches in Cape Town. Lost 3 matches and 2 draws.
