India bowled themselves in the driver's seat on Day 3 of the first Test versus South Africa at the Centurion as they dismissed the hosts for a score of 197 runs in reply to their first innings total of 327. The 130-run lead gave India a perfect cushion as they aim to set a daunting target for the Proteas. India's pacers fulfilled their responsibilities impeccably and shared all ten wickets amongst themselves. Apart from a brilliant five-wicket haul by Mohammed Shami, other fast bowlers including Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj also contributed to the downfall of the South African batting line-up.
