India reached 174 for 7 at lunch on Day 3 of the Guwahati Test, still far behind South Africa’s big first innings score. Nitish Kumar Reddy once again became the main target of fan criticism after another short stay at the crease.
Fans Question Reddy’s Place in the XI
Reddy’s recent form has upset many fans. His Test numbers look poor, and supporters feel he has become a liability in the lower order. Some fans even wrote that selecting him leaves India with one bowler less and half a batter less.
Stunning Markram Catch Dismisses Reddy
Reddy scored only 10 runs before Aiden Markram dismissed him with a brilliant one handed diving catch at second slip. The sharp short ball from Marco Jansen and the athletic catch have gone viral on social media.
India in Deep Trouble at Guwahati
With India trailing by 315 runs, the situation is very difficult. A follow on looks likely. Many fans say a South Africa 2–0 series win is loading, and India may face another defeat if there is no turnaround in the next session.
