 **Watch: Rishabh Pant Calls Jadeja “Jadender”, Moments Before Jadeja Bowls Stubbs**

Rishabh Pant once again delivered a classic behind-the-stumps moment, adding humour to an otherwise tense passage of play. With South Africa struggling at **60/4** in their second innings, Ravindra Jadeja was applying immense pressure with disciplined, tight bowling.

During the **23rd over**, while Tristan Stubbs was facing Jadeja, Pant entertained everyone with his signature banter. He cheekily referred to the bowler as **“Jadender”**, a line that immediately caught the attention of the commentators and had fans laughing across social media.

Pant’s light-hearted chatter has long been a standout feature of his wicketkeeping, and once again, he didn’t disappoint.

## **Jadeja Strikes — Stubbs Bowled for 5**

Soon after the fun moment, Jadeja produced the perfect follow-up. On the final ball of the over, Stubbs misread the delivery, and the ball sneaked past his defence, crashing into the stumps. He departed for **just 5 runs**, handing India a crucial breakthrough.

This dismissal marked **Jadeja’s fourth wicket** of the innings and further tightened India’s grip on the match. The sequence — Pant’s joke followed by Jadeja’s strike — quickly went viral, giving fans both laughter and celebration in the same over.

## **India End Day 2 on Top**

Day 2 offered little relief for batters, with sharp turn and unpredictable bounce making run-scoring extremely difficult. Play eventually ended a few minutes early due to bad light.

By stumps, South Africa were reeling at **93/7**, holding a slim lead of **63 runs**. Captain **Temba Bavuma** was battling hard at **29 off 78 balls**, alongside **Corbin Bosch**, who remained on 1.

For India, Jadeja was the standout performer, finishing the day with impressive figures of **4/29 in 13 overs**.
Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel contributed with **2 and 1 wicket**, respectively, while Jasprit Bumrah bowled sharply but went wicketless.

India will look to wrap up the innings quickly on Day 3 and avoid chasing a tricky three-digit target on a challenging surface.
