Electing to bat after winning the toss at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Nagpur, Rajasthan were bundled out for 216 after Yadav collected the last three wickets to finish with figures of 4 for 45 in 17.4 overs. Yadav, who was in average bowling form in the two One-Day Internationals (ODI) that he played against the South Africans, had recorded figures of 4 for 49 in the first innings of Vidarbha’s previous Test against Assam.
