Team India all-rounder Washington Sundar backed Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel over poor strokes that led to their dismissals on Day 3 of the Guwahati Test against South Africa. Sundar said that Pant has tasted success with the same approach in the past and added that the management backs him completely. India had another poor day in the office on Day 3 of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Monday, November 24. Resuming their second innings at 9-0, the hosts were all-out for 201 in 83. 5 overs. Pant was dismissed for seven as he skipped down the track to Marco Jansen, but only managed to nick the ball to the keeper, while Jurel (0) mistimed a pull. The Indian captain came in for heavy criticism from fans and experts following his ugly dismissal. Sundar, however, threw his weight behind the batters. Speaking at a press conference after the end of Day 3 in Guwahati, he said: “On another day, both the balls would have gone into the stands and all of us would have appreciated and clapped. That’s how it is. Sometimes, you’ve just got to back their plans and their skill sets as well, given the fact that they have shown lot of evidences in the past as well. Obviously, the execution didn’t go the way we wanted.” Asked for an assessment of India’s batting failure on Day 3 of the Test against South Africa, Sundar replied that it is up to the individuals to take a call on how to play. The all-rounder elaborated: “There’s quite a few ways you can play the game and I think it’s up to the individuals as to what their plans are, especially on this wicket. We just back our plans and at times it doesn’t go the way we wanted to.” India got off to a decent start on Day 3 of the Guwahati Test and were 95-1 at one stage. However, they kept losing wickets to concede a huge first-innings lead. “It wasn’t a snake pit” Washington Sundar on Guwahati wicket for 2nd IND vs SA 2025 Test While India’s bowlers struggled to make an impact against South Africa in the first innings, the Proteas were a lot more effective. Left-arm pacer Jansen made the ball talk, claiming 6-48 from 19. 5 overs. Sundar admitted that the pitch remained a good one to bat on Day 3 as well. The 26-year-old said: “It wasn’t a snake pit or whatever you may call it. I mean, it’s a very good wicket. It’s a true wicket. Not many days you’ll get to bat on such tracks, especially in India. If you spend time there, runs are for the taking. You can’t really contain runs for a very long period of time.” Sundar, who batted at No. 3 in the previous Test, came in at No. 8 on Monday. He contributed a defiant 48 off 92 balls, while Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with 58. At stumps on Day 2, South Africa were 26-0 in their second innings, having taken all overall lead of 314 runs.

Man arrested in Battle Creek after allegedly threatening woman with AR-15 rifle
BATTLE CREEK, MI A man was arrested in Battle Creek this weekend after allegedly threatening a woman with a rifle and assaulting her. Officers were called to the scene of the incident after 3 a. m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, following a report of a man holding an AR-15 rifle in the 20th block of South 23rd Street, according to a news release. As officers made their way to the area, they were notified by dispatch that individuals were leaving the scene in a sports car. Officers stopped the vehicle and determined that the occupants were not involved in the incident, police said. After arriving at the scene, officers spoke with the suspect and the caller who reported the incident. A woman told police the suspect threatened her with the weapon and pushed her face. The 27-year-old woman also claimed she was attacked by two women, one of whom hit her with a liquor bottle. The other woman is accused of firing multiple shots from a handgun that hit the alleged victim’s vehicle, police said. Officers attempted to track down the two women accused of attacking the alleged victim but were unsuccessful. Police eventually located the AR-15 allegedly used in the incident concealed in a trash can on South 24th Street, and the 31-year-old man accused of threatening and attacking the woman was arrested on felony assault and felony weapons charges. The suspect also had multiple outstanding warrants, police said. The alleged victim was evaluated by LifeCare Ambulance, but she did not sustain any visible injuries, according to police. In addition to LifeCare Ambulance, the Battle Creek Police Department was assisted by the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office.
