Captain Shubman Gill, who did not play the second Test due to a neck injury, showed solidarity and determination after the 0-2 series loss to South Africa and said that the team will become stronger despite this defeat. The two test match series was embarrassing for India. South Africa made a clean sweep by defeating the host team by 30 runs in the first Test in Kolkata and by 408 runs in the second Test in Guwahati. This was South Africa’s first victory on Indian soil in 25 years.
This defeat led to criticism about the team’s performance and leadership and fans even ‘hooted’ coach Gautam Gambhir.
Gill wrote on ‘X’ on Wednesday, “The calm sea does not teach you to navigate, but the storm only makes you stronger.” We will continue to believe in each other, fight for each other and move forward, and become stronger. ,
Calm seas don’t teach you how to steer, it’s the storm that forges steady hands. We’ll continue to believe in each other, fight for each other, and move forward – rising stronger.

South Africa maintained its dominance in the Guwahati Test from beginning to end. Africa had set a target of 549 runs for Team India. In response, Indian batting was reduced to just 140 runs. Marco Jansen proved to be the biggest villain for Team India in this match, who apart from playing an inning of 93 runs, also took 6 wickets in the first innings. Aiden Markram took a total of 9 catches in this match, which was also the most catches taken by a fielder in a single Test match.
