South Africa vs India 2018: 5 things that cost India the 2nd Test

#4 Substandard fielding

India dropped a plethora of catches in the 2nd Test

It is not only batting and bowling in which India have been outplayed by their opponents. One of the prime areas which has been the differentiating factor between the two teams is their contrasting fielding performances.

While AB de Villiers contributed in two Indian dismissals on Day 5, Indian fielding has been below par. Despite a couple of run outs in the first innings, the Indian team has dropped more catches than it has taken.
