Before him, Quinton de Kock scored 111 runs in the Visakhapatnam Test in 2019, while Lance Klusener played an unbeaten innings of 102 runs in the Cape Town Test in 1997. 2. Muthusamy is the fourth South African to score 50+ against India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh Senuran Muthusamy has become the fourth South African player to score 50+ runs in Tests against India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Before him, Graeme Smith, Mark Boucher, and Temba Bavuma have achieved this feat. 3. Jansen equals Shahid Afridi’s Test sixes record Marco Jansen has equaled AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock in the list of players who have hit the most sixes in an innings for South Africa in Tests. Now, all three have 7-7 sixes registered in an innings. Jansen’s 7 sixes are also jointly the most against India. Before this, Shahid Afridi had hit the same number of sixes in the 2006 Lahore Test. Jansen has also become the second-highest six-hitter while batting at number 9 or below in Test cricket. Only New Zealand’s Tim Southee (9 sixes) hit more sixes than him in his debut match against England in Napier in 2008. 4. Marco Jansen: 11th player to be out in the nervous nineties Marco Jansen has become the 11th player to be dismissed between 90 and 100 while batting at number 9 or lower in Test cricket. He is the first South African batsman to do so. This is the second time this has happened against India. Previously, Mitchell Starc was dismissed for 99 runs in the 2013 Mohali Test. Moments from IND vs SA Guwahati Test Day 2 1. Umpire warns Rishabh Pant India captain Rishabh Pant was warned by umpire Richard Kettleborough for taking too much time between overs. This was his second warning of the innings. According to the rules, if Pant made such a mistake one more time, India could have been penalised 5 runs. For this reason, the umpire was constantly reminding him to speed up the game. Meanwhile, commentator Deep Dasgupta said on-air that India had received its first warning in the 45th over, and according to the rules, warnings reset after the 80th over. In such a case, this warning should technically be considered Pant’s first. 2. Muthusamy saved by review In the 105th over, there was a strong LBW appeal against Muthusamy off Jadeja’s bowling, and on-field umpire Rod Tucker gave him out. However, the SA batter immediately took a review. The ball, coming at 92 km/h, spun from a good length, dipped, and hit Muthusamy’s front pad as he played a sweep shot. As the ball passed the glove, there was a faint sound on UltraEdge. TV umpire Chris Gaffney said that the ball had hit the glove. Following this, the on-field decision was overturned. As the decision appeared on the big screen, Muthusamy understood that the ball had brushed his glove. His review was successful. 3. Verreynne out by Pant’s stumping India got a wicket from Rishabh Pant’s stumping. On the third ball of the 121st over, as soon as Jadeja saw Verreynne stepping out of the crease, he spun the ball away. The ball went straight past the batsman into Rishabh Pant’s gloves, and Pant, showing agility, completed the stumping. The umpire sought the help of the third umpire to check if Pant had caught the ball behind the stumps. The replay found everything to be correct, and Verreynne was given out. Verreynne was out after scoring 45 runs off 122 balls. An 88-run partnership for the 7th wicket occurred between Verreynne and Muthusamy. 4. Jansen’s no-look six off Jadeja’s delivery On the third ball of the 124th over, Marco Jansen hit a no-look six. Jadeja’s delivery was full-length. Jansen moved slightly to the leg-side, came forward, bent his back leg, and hit a powerful shot, sending the ball a long distance over long-on.
