South Africa vs India 2018: 1st T20I, 5 things we learnt from the match

#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar sniffs out five

Kohli would have been mighty pleased with Bhuvneshwar's performance

The Bull Ring is always known to be an anti-bowler's ground. The lightning quick outfield and the high altitude helps the scoring rates and six hitting in particular, but South Africa were done in by a spectacular Bhuvneshwar. The seam bowler hit the right lengths and mounted pressure on the Proteas in the power-play overs.

He sent back Jon-Jon Smuts with a knuckle ball before dismissing the skipper, JP Duminy off the last ball of his opening spell. Bhuvneshwar returned to prize out three in an over - Hendricks first and Heinrich Klaasen and Morris off consecutive balls later. The Meerut pacer finished with career best figures of 5/24.
