IND vs SA: The second Test between India and South Africa is being played at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. The game has reached the fifth day and the African team is standing on the verge of victory. Indian team will have to perform a miracle to make a comeback
India vs South Africa: Team India is on the verge of defeat in the Guwahati Test. The match has reached the 5th day and the African team is coming very close to winning the match. If the Indian team under the captaincy of Meri Sab Band has to save this match, then it will have to break the record of 25 years. Africa has set a huge score of 549 runs for India. In reply, India has lost two wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal Jaiswal and KL Rahul have gone out. It seems to be slipping out of the hands of Team India, but to save the match, they will have to drop.
History will have to change in the fourth innings
Team India has not been able to play more than 100 overs in the fourth innings even once in the last 25 years. It is a very difficult task to save the Guwahati Test, but if the Indian batsmen want, they can draw it. To do this, it will take incredible batting or a miracle. India will have to show the game which it has not shown in the last 25 years. The last time India played the maximum number of overs in the fourth innings was in the year 2008. 98.3 overs were played in the Test match against England at home.

India played 100+ overs against Australia
By the way, if we talk about the overall record in 25 years, Team India had played the maximum of 131 overs in a Test match against Australia. The year 2021 was seen like this on the grounds of Sydney. However, looking at the way Guwahati has troubled the Indian batsmen in the middle, it doesn’t seem like a miracle could happen. Apart from this, both the openers have gone out cheaply. Now Rishabh Pant will have a big responsibility on his shoulders.
The middle order will have to show its power with the bat.
So far, Indian batting has looked quite disappointing in this entire series. No batsman could score even a half-century in the Kolkata Test. A similar situation prevailed in the first innings of the Guwahati Test. Only Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a half-century. Apart from him, Washington Sundar scored 48 runs. But, now if this test has to be saved and the fans have to give a positive sign for the upcoming matches, then the middle order will have to show the power of the bat.
