India captain for the first time, Rishabh Pant was visibly unhappy with star spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Day 2 of the ongoing Test between India and South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. The incident unfolded during the 88th over of South Africa's first innings on the second day of the all-important encounter.
There had been multiple instances when several members of the Indian team were taking a bit too long to walk to their fielding positions at the end of overs, which caused unnecessary delays. There were not a lot of changes to this particular behaviour, despite the Indian skipper trying his best to communicate the message to his unit.
Pant reached his boiling point when Kuldeep took too long to initiate his 18th over of the innings. For the uninitated, the wrist-spinner had been warned once before as well for the same reason. There would be a five-run penalty given against the fielding team if a bowler is warned thrice in an innings, which clearly did not sit well with Pant.
