Former South African cricketer Dale Steyn did not hold back in his criticism of India's bowling strategy during Day 2 of the second Test against South Africa. Steyn pointed out that India's approach was too defensive, lacking adaptability and featuring overly defensive field placements. South Africa's strong performance on Day 2 was fueled by Senuran Muthusamy's maiden Test century and Marco Jansen's aggressive 93, helping them reach a total of 489 runs. This impressive batting display was acknowledged by former Indian cricketer Anil Kumble, who praised the impact of South Africa's batting lineup. Steyn's comments highlight the importance of being proactive and adaptable in Test cricket, especially when facing a strong opposition like South Africa. India will need to reassess their strategies and field placements to tackle the challenges posed by the South African batsmen in the remaining days of the Test match.
