India’s Batting Order Crumble Under Jansen’s Pace Attack in Guwahati Test
Guwahati, India – November 24, 2025 – India’s batting lineup suffered a significant collapse on Day 3 of the second Test match against South Africa in Guwahati, leaving their hopes of a series victory hanging in the balance. South African pacer Marco Jansen’s exceptional use of the short ball proved devastating, reducing the hosts to 174 for 7 at lunch.
Despite a promising start with Yashasvi Jaiswal (58) leading the charge, India lost six wickets for a mere 27 runs. Jansen, exploiting the bounce from the pitch with his towering frame, claimed four crucial wickets, exposing vulnerabilities in the Indian batsmen’s shot selection.
“The pitch itself wasn’t demonic, but Jansen extracted disconcerting bounce that clearly troubled the Indian batters,” commented cricket analyst Rajan Verma. “Their indiscreet shot selection compounded the issue.”
While KL Rahul and Jaiswal fell to deliveries with extra bounce, the dismissals of Dhruv Jurel, Sai Sudharsan, and captain Rishabh Pant drew particular criticism. Sudharsan’s dismissal mirrored his similar error from the first Test, while Pant’s aggressive approach proved costly.
Washington Sundar (33 not out) and Kuldeep Yadav (14 not out) displayed resilience, forging an unbroken 52-run partnership to stem the flow of wickets and prevent further embarrassment. However, facing a potential 0-2 series defeat, India’s chances remain slim with two days of play remaining. The match continues and fans around the world wait to see what happens!
