In a decisive performance, South Africa secured a commanding lead against India on the third day of the second Test match in Guwahati. The visitors bowled India out for a mere 201 runs, with Marco Jansen's impressive six-wicket haul dismantling the Indian batting order.
India's batting woes continued into the post-lunch session, starting at 174/7. Although Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav attempted to mount a defense, Simon Harmer's crucial dismissal of Sundar dashed hopes of minimizing the deficit. Jansen then dispatched the remaining batsmen, putting his team firmly in control.
Earlier, India's top order faltered despite a promising 65-run opening partnership. The situation quickly deteriorated with the dismissals of key players including captain Rishabh Pant, as the South African bowlers maintained relentless pressure throughout the day.
