AP/PTI Hours after India bowled South Africa out at just 55 in the second Test in Cape Town on Wednesday (3 January), their batting collapsed like a pack of cards, losing six wickets without adding a single run to the total . Earlier in the day, Dean Elgar won the toss and elected to bat first. However, South Africa collapsed within 23.2 overs.

Siraj’s remarkable new ball spell, with figures of 9 3 15 6, played a pivotal role in dismissing South Africa for 55 runs. But then, from a relatively steady position of 153 for 4 to a sudden complete collapse, the Indians were all out at the same score. And guess who was in the commentary box when all this transpired on the fieled? None other than former India head coach Ravi Shastri, whose words quickly went viral.

Shastri said , “153 for 4 and 153 all out. If someone went around the corner for a dump and has come back, India have been bowled out for 153.” Related Articles 'If someone went for...': Ravi Shastri's epic reaction to India’s batting collapse against South Africa ‘Only Indians voting’: Ravi Shastri, cricket pundits aghast at broadcaster's ODI Team of the Year That led to many reminiscing about the iconic instances of Ravi Shastri’s gems in the commentary box: When India won the 2011 Cricket World Cup “Dhoni finishes off in style.
