5 reasons why Team India lost at Durban

South Africa v India - 1st Test Day 4

No plan to counter Steyn

South Africa v India 2nd Test - Day 2

Dale Steyn celebrates the wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara

Having picket up 9 wickets in the Match, Dale Steyn proved why he is one of the most feared bowlers in the world. After having a dismal outing in the first Test, he was back in full form and vigour as he ripped through the Indian batting. He managed to extract pace and swing from the pitch on the 2nd day to hand the early blows after which the Indian team collapsed like a pack of cards. Even on the fifth day, his twin strike of Kohli and Pujara were instrumental in India losing the match. He constantly was at the batsman heads which allowed the other end bowler to experiment with the rattled back footed Indian batsmen.
