A moment Nandre Burger will remember all his life. Having been handed his Test cap an hour ago, the left-arm pacer came steaming in and claimed the wicket of his Rajasthan Royals teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal. The tall pacer celebrated his maiden Test wicket emphatically, screaming in delight.
Nandre Burger pitched the ball at full length outside off, which jagged back in ever so slightly, taking the outside edge of Jaiswal as wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne claimed an easy catch.
