IND vs SA | A five match T20 International series is being played between India and South Africa. After winning the first two matches, South Africa took a 2-0 lead in the series. Now the next match for India will be do or die. In the second T20 International match played in Cuttack, Bhuvneshwar Kumar took four wickets for just 13 runs in four overs, but despite this, an unwanted record has been registered in his account.

This is the first time for India when a bowler has taken four wickets but the team has lost the match. This had never happened before. Bhuvneshwar Kumar showed the way to the pavilion for Reeza Hendricks, Dwayne Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen and Wayne Parnell. In the first two matches, India batted first and South Africa chased down the target easily. Apart from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, no other bowler could impress from India.

Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel may have curbed the runs, but both could not take any wicket. Avesh made 17 runs in his quota of four overs, while Harshal made 17 runs in three overs. Akshar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal proved to be very expensive. Chahal conceded 49 runs in four overs, while Akshar conceded 19 runs in his one over. Hendrix Klaasen scored 81 runs for South Africa and was adjudged man of the match. The third T20 International match is to be played on June 14 in Visakhapatnam.
