After securing a win in the shortest test match in history, India`s wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul said, "extra fire" was missing in the opening game, but a "mental shift" turned things around.
India lost the opening game of the two-match test series against South Africa in Centurion by an innings and 32 runs. The visitors later made a strong comeback in the second game and ended the series in a 1-1 draw. Visitor`s lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah bagged six wickets on Day 2 of the second test which completely shifted the momentum in India`s favour.
