India’s stand-in captain Rishabh Pant was not happy with the lethargy of his bowling unit as South Africa made merry on a flat pitch in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati. South Africa, who chose to bat first after winning the toss, crossed the 400-run mark at lunch on day two.

Senuran Muthuswamy has starred with a brilliant century, while Marco Jansen has punished the Indian spinners in his quick fifty.

Pant is captaining India, and his numerous directions, warnings, and adjustments became one of the most talked-about topics as India battled to manage the game.

India's overrated difficulties and failure to take wickets exacerbated the situation. Pant constantly asked that his bowlers and fielders act quickly between deliveries.

In one clip, he said, "Yaar, 30 seconds ka timer hai" (There’s a 30-second timer), followed by "Ghar pe khel rahe ho kya? Ek ball daal jaldi."

He also reminded Kuldeep Yadav about the two warnings India had already received. As delays continued, Pant grew sharper in tone, telling his team.

"Yaar Kuldeep, dono baar warning le li" (Kuldeep, we’ve already taken two warnings). Pura ek over thodi na chahiye. Mazak bana rakha hai Test cricket ko." (We don’t need a whole over. You’ve made a joke out of Test cricket,” he is heard saying.

While organizing the field, Pant insisted on handling the placements himself, saying, "Field mere ko karne de. Tu tappe se daalne ko dekh. Baaki ho jaayega kaam."

At another moment, urging his side not to drop intensity, he said, "Bhai kal poori din mehnat kari hai yaar. Chhodenge nahi. Kaam karte raho." (We worked hard all day yesterday. We can’t let it slip now. Keep at it.)

When Washington Sundar prepared to bowl, Pant again referred to the timer, saying, "Guys, play with the timer; there's a 1-minute timer for every over. Come on, yaar." (Play according to the timer; there’s a one-minute limit for every over, come on.)”
