I was nervous for the first three balls: Shahbaz Nadeem on his debut in Ranchi Test

India Today  

India off-spinner Shahbaz Nadeem feels good that he is finally being rewarded for all the hard work that he has put in domestic cricket as he grabbed his maiden Test wicket on Day 3 of the Ranchi Test on Monday. Temba Bavuma became Nadeem's maiden Test wicket and he later removed Anrich Nortje in South Africa's first innings as India bowled them out for 162 and then asked Faf du Plessis's team to follow-on for the second time in a row in this series. Nadeem also ran out George Linde with a direct hit in South Africa's second innings to make matters worse for the visitors. After the day's play, Nadeem spoke to Murali Kartik and described his emotions as he came on to bowl for the first time in Test cricket and that too on his home ground.
