The Guwahati track, jokingly described by Kuldeep Yadav as a \u2018road\u2019, allowed South Africa to bat for almost two days and pile up 489 runs. Surprisingly, the tail-enders flourished with Senuran Muthusamy getting his maiden Test hundred and Marco Jansen missing his. Now the focus shifts on India\u2019s batting. On Sunday, India walked back at stumps at 9 for no loss in 6.1 overs, still 480 runs behind and under pressure to respond strongly to level the series.<\/p>\n

Former India captain and legendary spinner Anil Kumble weighed in on the conditions, opining that the pitch will likely start to break up and bring spin into play. Speaking on JioStar, Kumble insisted India must bat long over the next two days to stay alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly expect a little more wear and tear, and I\u2019m sure the spinners will come into play tomorrow. That said, it will still be a good surface to bat on\u2014runs won\u2019t be hard to come by,” Kumble said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe South African batters showed today that you can play your shots, and Marco Jansen proved that by taking the aggressive route. For India, this is a must-win Test. They\u2019ve had six tough sessions, and they\u2019ll be thinking about how they can bat through the next two days. If India can control the third and fourth day, they\u2019ll put themselves in a position to think about the second innings,” he added.<\/p>\n

Since India are yet to lose a wicket, Kumble suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal should approach his innings, especially against Marco Jansen\u2019s early bounce and pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cYashasvi will have a role, but not necessarily right at the start. He needs to settle in, get used to the conditions, and adjust to the pace of the pitch. It\u2019ll be on the slower side, not as bouncy or uneven as Kolkata\u2014so the ball should come on nicely. Marco Jansen will get extra bounce because of his height\u2014we saw that with KL Rahul, who was hit on the glove first ball,” Kumble said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Yashasvi can get through the first 30\u201345 minutes and negotiate Jansen\u2019s early spell, we\u2019ll see the dominant version of Jaiswal we know. He\u2019ll certainly look to take on the spinners, especially the two left-arm options,” he added.<\/p>\n
