A moment grabbed viewers’ attention amid Team India’s struggles on Day 4 (Tuesday, November 25) of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri made a hilarious comment as a fan was casually enjoying an ice cream in the stands.
On Day 4, Ravindra Jadeja removed South African openers, and Washington Sundar sent back Temba Bavuma for a low score. However, India are far behind in the second Test. The Proteas extended their lead to over 450 runs, leaving the hosts with virtually no chance of forcing a comeback or challenging for a win.

Ravi Shastri delivered another amusing commentary moment when the cameraman shifted focus from the action to a spectator in the stands. The fan eating ice cream was shown on the big screen at the venue.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Shastri jokingly referred to the supporter as a “big fellow” and added humorous lines as the fan enjoyed his treat. The episode once again showed that Shastri can turn an ordinary crowd shot into something memorable, proving his ability to make anyone instantly famous with his commentary.
"Looks like a lollipop in his hand, that ice-cream. Oh, the big fellow is killing it. He is not wasting any time. He's looking in every direction. How can he devour that? There he goes. He's spinning it in his hand. Really giving it a tweak," Shastri said.
During last year’s second Test between India and New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Ravi Shastri made a similar on-air remark about a spectator. The clip quickly spread across social media, prompting many viewers to express their displeasure with his comment.
Team India Struggling with Both Bat and Ball in the Second Test
At the time of writing, the visitors were 187/4, with Tristan Stubbs and Wiaan Mulder at the crease. They are leading by 475 runs. Ravindra Jadeja removed Tony de Zorzi, who scored 49 runs off 68 balls.
Earlier on Day 3 of the second Test in Guwahati, India suffered a batting collapse, as they were dismissed for just 201 in reply to South Africa’s first-innings total of 489 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul added 65 for the first wicket. Following the openers’ dismissals, India collapsed from 95/1 to 122/7, losing wickets in quick succession against the South African bowling attack.
Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav added a 72-run partnership that helped the team cross 200. South Africa ended the day at 26 for no loss, extending their overall lead to a commanding 314 runs.
South Africa Pushing to Claim a Rare Test Series Win on Indian Soil
South Africa made full use of batting first, posting a total of 489 runs in their opening innings. Senuran Muthusamy scored a century, while Marco Jansen added 93 runs with an attacking, aggressive approach. Kuldeep Yadav finished with four wickets.
India were bowled out for only 201, conceding a massive 288-run lead. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 58, Washington Sundar contributed 48, and Kuldeep Yadav battled for 19 from 134 balls. Jansen picked up six wickets for 48 runs, while Simon Harmer took three wickets.
With South Africa tightening their position in the two-match series and now pushing to claim a rare Test series win on Indian soil, something they last achieved in 1999-2000, they took a 1-0 lead after their earlier 30-run win in Kolkata, their first Test victory in India since 2010.
