IND vs SA 2nd Test: The Indian Test team suffered yet another home Test series loss and that too against WTC champions South Africa, as they had lost the second Test match by 408 runs in Guwahati. After the humiliating loss, a few Indian fans were seen chanting 'Haay Haay Gautam Gambhir', and that's when star fast bowler Mohammed Siraj and assistant coach Sitanshu Kotak interfered. Owing to the fan unrest, the police also intervened and dealt with them.

Fans chanted, ‘Gambhir Haye Haye’ and ‘Gambhir Go Back’ and then Kotak tried to warn them by saying, “Ek aadhmi India ke liye itna bolta hai aur aap haye haye bol rahe ho?".

This loss by the host is their biggest loss as far as runs are concerned at their backyard, and this was their second consecutive home Test series loss within a year. The Temba Bavuma-led side won the Test series 2-0.
