Kevin Pietersen Explains How the 3rd Test Can Be Played Without Flight Delay

Following the win of India over South Africa in the second Test that lasted for just 1.5 days, former England batter Kevin Pietersen poked fun at the duration of the match. He said that there is enough time to play a series decider at Cape Town in order to have a true winner in this series. Bumrah's second-inning six-wicket haul made all the difference as, despite Aiden Markram's tonne, South Africa could set only 79 for India to wrap up this Test in around 1.5 days, which India chased down successfully.

Following the win, Pietersen suggested that a series decider could still be played. The series has met a lot of criticism from cricket fans and former players for not featuring enough matches.

Pietersen tweeted, "There's enough time to play the 3rd and deciding Test match to start tomorrow in Cape Town. There'll absolutely be a result in the series, and the players won't miss their scheduled flights home."

The second Test saw India walk away victorious with a seven-wicket victory within around 1.5 days.
