BAN vs SA, 2nd Test: Something happened in the second test match between Bangladesh and South Africa which shocked world cricket. Actually, South Africa scored 575/6 in its first innings. In which Tony De Georgi (177), Tristan Stubbs (106) and Vian Mulder played innings of 105 runs. That means three batsmen scored centuries in the South African innings. The most interesting thing is that for the three batsmen who scored centuries, this is the first century of their Test career. This means that this is only the second time in the history of Test cricket that three batsmen have scored the first century of their career in the same innings. Earlier this amazing feat had happened in the year 1948. (Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs and William Mulder)
In the year 1948, West Indies batsmen Gerry Gomez, Robert Christiani and Clyde Walcott scored centuries in the Delhi Test match against India, which was the first century of their Test career. That means, after 76 years in Test cricket, South African batsmen have repeated history by doing such a feat.
Apart from this, the first case of three South African batsmen scoring centuries in the same Test innings has been recorded in Chittagong (Asia). At the same time, this is also the first case of three South African batsmen scoring centuries in the same Test innings since 2017.
Let us tell you that by the end of the second day's play in the Test match, Bangladesh's 4 wickets had fallen at 38 runs. South African team is 537 runs ahead of Bangladesh. Bangladesh batsmen are being forced to surrender before South African fast bowlers. Let us tell you that in the first test match, South Africa had defeated Bangladesh very easily. Now South Africa's position looks strong in this test match also.
Along with this, a total of 17 sixes were hit during the South African innings. Which is the record for the most number of sixes hit by the South African team in a test match. Earlier, in the Basseterre Test in 2010, the South African team had hit 15 sixes.
