Team India stand-in captain Rishabh Pant was fuming in frustration on day two of the second India vs South Africa Test match in Guwahati. The wicketkeeper-batter was seen taking to Kuldeep Yadav in a frustrated manner due to time-limit-related delays.

The Proteas men continue to put up a clinical display with the bat, prompting frustration among the hosts. With the tailenders contributing big numbers, it was getting frustrating for the Indian cricketers as the South African batters continued to bat.

On day two of the Guwahati Test, Rishabh Pant received a warning from umpire Richard Kettleborough after being in breach of the 60-second rule. Some Indian players were casually jogging on the field, adding to the stand-in captain's frustration.

"Yaar, 30 seconds ka timer hai. Ghar pe khel rahe ho kya? Ek ball daal jaldi. Yaar Kuldeep, dono baar warning le li. Pura ek over thodi na chahiye. Mazak bana rakha hai Test cricket ko," Rishabh Pant was heard on the stump mic.
