South Africa has won the 2-match Test series 2-0 by defeating India by a huge margin of 408 runs in Guwahati. Team India failed in every field in the second test. One of the 5 major reasons for this defeat is the strategy of coach Gautam Gambhir, which failed in Guwahati. Lack of experience was clearly visible under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant. There is still confusion regarding the batting order. In the first Test, Washington Sundar was tried at number three, he also batted well but due to the arrival of Sai Sudarshan in the next Test, he again had to move down to the lower order.

1. Extra all-rounders

India gave importance to additional all-rounders in this series instead of Test specialist players, this strategy was a complete failure of Team India. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was playing in the second test, but he bowled only 6 overs in the first innings and 4 overs in the second innings. India could have played a better specialist batsman than this. Apart from him, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were the other two all-rounders playing.

2. Experiment number 3 failed

The experiment of number-3 in the Indian batting order failed in this series also. After Cheteshwar Pujara, India is not able to set any batsman in this position. In the first test, Washington Sundar batted at number three, Sai Sudarshan came in this match. Sudarshan failed in both the innings.

3. Indian batsmen kneeled in front of spin.

There is a perception about Indian batsmen that they play spin well, but this was not seen at all in this series. South Africa’s batsmen played better spin than Team India’s batsmen. Simon Harmer had scored 119 runs on this pitch, Marco Jansen had played a quick inning of 93 runs.

4. Lack of experience seen in the captain

Rishabh Pant was playing his first Test as captain, his lack of experience was clearly visible. His body language also looked tired in the second innings of South Africa. This team has experienced players like Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, although he was seen taking advice from them in the test but nothing was successful. When India was in trouble in the first innings, Rishabh Pant lost his wicket by playing an irresponsible shot. Pant, who scored 7 runs in the first innings, could score only 13 runs in the second innings.

Test captain Shubman Gill left the field in the first Test due to neck cramps. He could not bat in the first test and had to be ruled out of the second test also.

5. Gautam Gambhir’s strategy

Both India’s wicket keepers Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant were included in the playing 11 in both the Tests against South Africa. This was a shocking decision. Jurel certainly did good fielding, but with the bat he completely flopped in the second test. In the first innings of the second Test, Jurel was out for zero, in the second innings he was out after scoring 2 runs. There was also uncertainty regarding the batting order in the playing 11.

India vs South Africa 2nd Test is being played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Today is Wednesday, the fifth day of the test. The second innings of the Indian cricket team is going on. Team India has got the target of 549 runs to win.

what happened in the game so far

South African captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and decided to bat first. The visiting team made a huge score of 489 runs in the first innings. Senuran Muthusamy scored his first Test century (109) in the first innings, while bowler Marco Jansen played an explosive inning of 93 runs. In this innings, he created history by hitting 7 sixes; he became the batsman to hit the joint highest number of sixes in a Test innings against India.

On the pitch where South African batsmen scored a lot of runs, Indian batsmen proved to be a flop. Team India was all out for 201 runs in the first innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal gave a good start by playing an inning of 58 runs, but Marco Jansen scattered India’s middle order. Sai Sudarshan (15), Dhruv Jurel (0), Rishabh Pant (7), Ravindra Jadeja (6) were out cheaply. Washington Sundar scored 48 runs and helped India cross 200. Marco Yansen took 6 wickets in the first innings.

South Africa declared its second innings at 260 runs, in this innings Tristan Stubbs scored 94 runs, he missed his century and as soon as he was out, Temba Bavuma declared the innings declared. Tony De Jorji scored 49 runs. India got the target of 549 runs to win.

India vs South Africa 2nd Test will be played from Saturday, November 22 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Team India has to win this test at any cost, because even if it is a draw then the visiting team will win the series. Indian captain Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the second test, although it is yet to be officially confirmed. Gill suffered neck pain on the second day of the first Test, after which he had to leave the field. He also stayed in the hospital for a day, although he has reached Guwahati with the team.

In the Kolkata Test, Washington Sundar batted at number three, in the second innings he performed better than other batsmen but it is unlikely that he will bat in this position in the second test also. After Pujara, Team India has tried many players in this position.

Sudarshan or Washington, who is at number three?

KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal start the innings, there does not seem to be any threat to their positions in the second test. However, the third position is going to be very interesting. Sai Sudarshan can bat at number three, the possibility of this is increasing because Shubman Gill’s exclusion from the second test is considered almost certain. Let us tell you that many veterans were surprised at the decision of not playing Sudarshan in the last test.

Captain Shubman Gill bats at number four, due to his absence Rishabh Pant can play at this position. Pant is the vice-captain and will take command of the team in Gill’s absence. In the last Test, Pant played at number 5, Ravindra Jadeja can come to this position in Guwahati.

Which position will Washington Sundar play?

Dhruv Jurel can come to bat at number six and all-rounder Washington Sundar can come to bat at number seven. After him, Akshar Patel can come at number 8, this also shows the depth in India’s batting.

Kuldeep Yadav can also play in Guwahati Test, there is every possibility of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj as 2 fast bowlers. There is very little possibility that Bumrah will take rest from the second Test due to workload management, because there is news that he can be rested in the ODI series.

India’s probable playing 11 for the second test

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Rishabh Pant (captain/wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.

Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the India vs South Africa second Test to be held in Guwahati. Gill felt neck pain in the Kolkata Test, due to which he had to retire hurt and leave the field. He could not bat even in the second innings. According to the report of Indian Express, Gill has been ruled out of the second test, in his absence Rishabh Pant will take charge of the team.

Shubman Gill was missed in the Kolkata Test, where Team India lost by 30 runs while chasing the target of 124 runs. Today itself BCCI issued an official statement regarding Gill saying that he is reaching Guwahati with the team but the decision on his playing is yet to be taken.

This player may get a chance in playing 11

In the first Test also, in the absence of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant took command, he is the vice-captain. 26-year-old Pant will captain in the second test also, while due to Gill’s exclusion, Sai Sudarshan may get a chance in the playing 11.

BCCI had said in its statement released on Wednesday, “Team India captain Shubman Gill suffered a neck injury on the second day of the Kolkata Test against South Africa and after the end of the day’s play, he was taken to the hospital for examination. He was kept under observation and discharged the next day. Gill is recovering rapidly and will go to Guwahati with the team on November 19, 2025.”

Team India has to win the second test at any cost

India is behind 0-1 in the 2-match Test series. Now to avoid series defeat, Team India has to win in Guwahati at any cost. Because even with a draw, South Africa will win the series. Let us tell you that Temba Bavuma has never lost any test as captain till now. He captained 11 matches, out of which South Africa won 10 and ended in a draw. Now India will have to break this record of Bavuma to end the series on par.

Sai Sudarshan got injured before the Indian team’s Australian tour. This injury to Sudarshan came in the second test between India vs West Indies played in Delhi, in which Team India was victorious by 7 wickets. Due to this injury, Sudarshan will not be able to be a part of the Tamil Nadu team in the first match of Ranji Trophy against Jharkhand. In the second test, Sudarshan scored 87 runs in the first innings and 39 runs in the second innings.

Sai Sudarshan was injured while fielding on the third day of the India vs West Indies Test. After the shot by John Campbell, the ball hit the chest of Sudarshan, who was fielding at short leg position. He did not field in the remaining innings of West Indies, but came to bat on the fourth day. His injury was not described as serious. N Jagadeesan, who was part of the Indian team against West Indies, may soon join the Tamil Nadu team, but due to injury, Sudarshan may sit out of the first match.

Talking about his performance in the Test series against West Indies, Sai Sudarshan could bat in one innings in the first match, in which he could score only 7 runs. But in the second test he scored 126 runs in both the innings combined. Sudarshan was not selected in any squad for T20 and ODI for the Australian tour.

Ranji Trophy starting tomorrow

Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season is going to start tomorrow i.e. from 15th October. Sai Sudarshan’s domestic team Tamil Nadu has been placed in Group A. Along with it, Nagaland, Odisha, defending champion Vidarbha, Andhra, Uttar Pradesh and Baroda are also in Group A. Tamil Nadu last won the Ranji Trophy in 1987-88.

If he is able to score a double century on the second day, it will be the third double century of his red-ball career.

Virat-Rohit and Cheteshwar Pujara Replacement: Cheteshwar Pujara has taken retirement from all the formats of cricket. Prior to Pujara, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also announced his retirement from Test cricket this year. All three players were known for giving a great opening to India in Test cricket. This top order of Team India has won many matches to India. But now after these three players retired from the Test, the question arises as to who will become the next Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara of Team India. In the coming time with this, the decision depends on Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill.

Shubman Gill will Virat Kohli be?

Shubman Gill has recently been made the captain of India’s Test team. Seeing Gill’s batting, he has started comparing him to Virat Kohli. In the Test series against England, Gill’s bat rained a lot of runs and his agration was also seen, after which people started calling Gill as Kohli 2.0.

Rohit Sharma’s accurate replacement

Rohit Sharma has been seen opening during his Test career. At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal also bats like Rohit. In such a situation, Yashasvi is being seen as a replacement of Rohit Sharma.

Who will replace Pujara?

Cheteshwar Pujara has retired from cricket on Sunday, August 24, but Pujara has been out of India’s Test team for a long time. Pujara used to come to bat at number 3 for the team, but ever since these players are out of the team, no player has been fit on this number. If Sai Sudarshan and opportunities are given in the matches ahead of India and they perform better, then this player can be replaced at number 3 in the Test team.
