It will take some time for the discussions surrounding the Newlands pitch for the second Test match between South Africa and India to end, particularly in light of the outspoken criticisms made by head coach Shukri Conrad and captain Rohit Sharma of the Indian team. In the roughly 147-year history of Test cricket, the match turned out to be the shortest ever. In just over four sessions, India defeated South Africa by seven wickets in 107 overs. During the Test match, 33 wickets fell in an incredibly short period of time, with 23 coming down on Day 1 alone.
