South Africa vs India, 2018: 5 game-changing catches put down by India on day 1 of the second Test

Murli Vijay dropped Dean Elgar at short leg

It was early in Ashwin opening spell when Vijay let off Dean Elgar. Elgar was struggling to get going in the first session. With the ball spinning and bouncing, it made it all-the-more difficult for him to score off Ashwin.

In an attempt to break free, the left-hander danced down the pitch but the ball spun sharply and took Elgar's edge. Vijay who was at short leg was very late to react and the ball bounced before him. Had he moved swiftly along with Elgar, as most good close in fielders do, the outcome could have been different.
