Neither the Indian batsmen nor bowlers found their footing in the second Test match against South Africa, which was being played in Guwahati. Surprisingly, the visitors found these conditions extremely favorable.
A lot of the brunt of this shocking defeat as come on Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar, as shown by the fan reactions above.
That said, there is plenty of time for the Indian management to point out the problems and try to fix them, as their next Test series will be played in August 2026 away from home in Sri Lanka.
