2nd Test: Unlike Kolkata, This Guwahati Wicket Demands Patience And Consistent Pressure, Says Dale Steyn
Having crossed 200 for the loss of four wickets in the final session, South Africa lost Wiaan Mulder (13) and Tony de Zorzi (28) in quick succession as the Indian bowlers fought back.
"I believe South Africa will be relatively pleased with their position, although they’ll be a bit disappointed about losing two wickets towards the end of the day. The new ball came into play, and India were able to break a key partnership of around 40 runs. Had South Africa lost three or four wickets instead, they would have been very happy. Unlike the Kolkata pitch, where wickets fell frequently, this Guwahati wicket demands patience and consistent pressure. India bowled with discipline, maintaining good lines and lengths. When opportunities arose, they capitalised well, supported by excellent catches from Rishabh Pant," JioStar expert Dale Steyn said on ‘Cricket Live’ coverage.
