With Shubman Gill ruled out due to a neck injury, Rishabh Pant had stepped in, hoping to bring energy and confidence. Instead, the situation has turned into a nightmare for the hosts. In the first innings, India had already slipped badly, and Pant walked in after a quick collapse.

Field placements looked confused, the energy of the Indian cricket team seemed off, and their response lacked urgency. Even the former Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed his disappointment over Pant’s body language on Day 4.
Ravichandran Ashwin shocked by Rishabh Pant's dull energy as India hit a new low in Guwahati Test
The cricket pandit has expressed his hope that India would put up a strong fight with the bat in the second innings, but his bigger concern was Pant’s body language and the team’s energy that looked flat, almost lifeless, at a time when they needed urgency and fire against South Africa.
I really hope we can bounce back while batting in the 2nd innings, but the indications on the field with respect to body language ?. #indvsa pic.twitter.com/Iui9dSsQTD

The pressure on India kept rising with every over. Their body language dipped sharply as South Africa’s batters continued to score freely. Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi were dominating, attacking every loose ball and confidently sweeping and reverse-sweeping to disrupt India’s plans.
Both batters played with freedom, showing no hesitation despite the huge lead already behind them. India’s only moment of relief came when Ravindra Jadeja finally trapped de Zorzi leg-before-wicket on 49. Kuldeep Yadav kept working hard from the other end, but they didn’t get the breakthroughs.
