When it continues India vs South Africa 2nd Test GuwahatiStarting on 22nd November 2025, South Africa piled up the target on Day 4 with too much pressure on Day 4. Team India. South AfricaAfter securing a first innings total of 489, they declared their second innings at 260/5, setting India a tough target of 549 runs. The day was marked by remarkable performances from the South African Batters Tristan StubbsHe scored 94 runs, scoring one century after another. The Proteas’ strategy of length and building a commanding lead came close to perfection, leaving India with a monumental task in the remaining sessions of the Test.
South Africa’s command to seal a historic win against India
South Africa started the 4th day with 414 runs from 314 runs in their first innings which reduced India to 314 runs. They then extended their lead with an aggressive second innings thanks to a solid batting display from their middle order.
Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram Respectable scores in the second innings before India’s dismissal Ravindra jadeja and Washington Sundar. The highlight was a sweep of 94 subs, 94 of which were accompanied Tony de zorzi49, before Jadeja broke the partnership. South Africa declared 260/5 setting a target of 549 runs for India. The target is quite high given the pitch conditions and the historical difficulty of chasing down a big total in Asia. India started their second innings cautiously, managing 6 runs for no loss at 2.6 near the third session on day 6.
India’s struggles and recent wasteful test performances
India’s performance in this test and the last Kolkata test was a disappointment, with the spin and the bowl test where they were subjected to difficult pitches. In the Kolkata Test, India collapsed to 93 in their second innings and reached 93 for 30 runs, setting a ton for the series. The Guwahati Test continued that trend, with India bowled out for 201 in the first innings and now facing the huge task of making 549 runs.
Former cricket experts criticized the Indian Batters lack of patience and application which is very important in test cricket. The team’s recent home record has been shaky with surprising losses in test matches New Zealand and South Africa, raising questions about the batting unit’s ability to put pressure on quality bowling attacks. The disastrous batting displays invited heavy trolling from fans and pundits as Team India saw an urgent rebuilding.
This Test is key to India’s efforts to prevent a series whitewash as South Africa aim to win a historic series on Indian soil for the first time since 2000-01. With only limited time left and unprecedented in Asian cricket history, India face an almost solvable challenge in Guwahati. The match remains an interesting contest between South Africa’s disciplined bowling and India’s remnants under pressure.

India pick Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer for Test cricket. They are one of the most reliable players and the team needs players like them, especially those who can sustain shots and prevent collapses in difficult conditions ♥ ️🔥#Indvssa pic.twitter.com/1nftys0jtd
