Former cricketer Kris Srikkanth slammed Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir after their poor first-innings performance against South Africa in the second Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Srikkanth stated that Gambhir is constantly chopping and changing, which has disrupted stability.
The Men in Blue collapsed to 201 in 83.5 overs during the first innings. Marco Jansen was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors with a six-wicket haul.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Washington Sundar showed fight against the South African bowling attack. India never came close to the Proteas' first-innings total of 489.
