SK Flashback: When India defied the odds to humble South Africa at Johannesburg

#4 Lonwabo Tsotsobe’s tremendous spell

Tsotsobe picked up the key wicket of Yuvraj Singh

The Indian team boasted of an explosive batting line-up and putting the lid on the scoring was a daunting task for any bowler. With Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel leading the attack, Lonwabo Tsotsobe was the predicted weak link.

However, he converted the weakness into a strength and strangled the Indians with a spell of 10-2-22-4. He got rid of Murali Vijay during the mandatory power-play, broke the backbone of their batting by nailing Yuvraj Singh and added further despair by dismissing Raina and Dhoni during the batting power-play.

It was because of Tsotsobe that India were never allowed to step on the gas after a solid stand between Dhoni and Yuvraj.
