Jasprit Bumrah delivered a masterclass with figures of 5/27 as India bowled out South Africa for 159 on Day 1 of the first Test at Eden Gardens on Friday. Despite India fielding four spinners for the first time since 2012, Bumrah dominated with his 16th five-wicket haul, turning South Africa's solid 57/0 start into a collapse of 10 wickets for 102 runs. Mohammed Siraj took 2/47 while Kuldeep Yadav grabbed 2/29. India closed at 37/1 with KL Rahul (13*) and Washington Sundar (6*) unbeaten, trailing by 122 runs. A crowd of over 36,000 witnessed South Africa's second-lowest total after a fifty-plus opening stand since readmission.
