India suffered a dramatic batting collapse on Day 3 of the second Test in Guwahati, slipping from a strong 95/1 to a worrying 102/4, with South Africa tightening their grip on the match.
The latest blow came when Dhruv Jurel fell for 0, edging Marco Jansen to Keshav Maharaj at mid-on. Jansen surprised the batter with a sharp short delivery, and Jurel’s mistimed pull landed safely in the hands of Maharaj, completing a sliding catch.
Just overs earlier, Sai Sudharsan had departed for 15, and Yashasvi Jaiswal—after a gritty fifty—was dismissed for 58.
With four wickets falling in a short span, South Africa have made the opening session entirely theirs, leaving India in trouble as they still trail by 387 runs.
