Rishabh hit 139 off six fours and four sixes in his innings. Rishabh’s scored a century as the batsmen of both the teams struggled to establish themselves on the field.
None of the support the bowlers received from the pitch in Cape Town bothered the ball there. Now, along with scoring a century, the behavior of the ball touching his bat is also getting applause from the fans.

In the middle of the innings, the ball, which had lifted India out of the slump, was showing respect for his bat. The ball bounced off the bat three or four times after it fell out of control and fell to the ground.

In the first Test in Cape Town, criticism of the ball was high after he was sent off for a poor shot. But the ball was bowled in the second innings by all the critics.
SA vs IND | Rare record born in Cape Town Test; The first in the history of Test cricket
The third Test in the Test series between South Africa and India (SA vs IND) was a rare one. This unique record was created by the way the Indian batsmen (Team India) batted in both the innings of the match. In both the innings, all the Indian batsmen were caught out. No one was caught in front of the wicket, bowled or run out. This was the first incident in the history of Test cricket.
There have been instances in the history of Test cricket where 19 wickets have been lost in two innings. But it was the first time he had taken 20 wickets. Earlier, he took 19 wickets and was caught five times. The first event was the 1982-83 Ashes series. In Brisbane that day, 19 England players were caught out. The same thing happened on Pakistan’s tour of Australia in 2009-10. Pakistan lost 19 wickets in Sydney.
In 2010-11, India lost 19 wickets in Durban. The same thing happened in the Brisbane Test in the Ashes series in 2013-14. He took 19 wickets in the Cape Town Test on England’s tour of South Africa in 2019-20. But now, in the same Cape Town, history has been made when a team’s 20 wickets were caught.
It is noteworthy that all this happened only in South Africa and Australia. This has happened twice in Brisbane, Australia and once in Sydney, and in Cape Town and Durban in South Africa.
