For the first time, India skipper Rishabh Pant was clearly upset with star spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Day 2 of the upcoming Test between India and South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The event occurred during the 88th over of South Africa’s first innings on the second day of the crucial match.
Several times, players of the Indian team took too long to go to their fielding positions at the conclusion of overs, causing unnecessary delays. There were little modifications to this particular conduct, despite the Indian skipper’s best efforts to deliver the message to his crew.
Pant’s temper flared as Kuldeep took too long to begin his 18th over of the innings. The wrist-spinner has previously been warned for the same reason. If a bowler is warned three times in an innings, the fielding team would be penalised by five runs, which plainly irritated Pant.
“Tees second ka timer hai (the timer has only 30 seconds remaining). Ghar mein khel rahe ho kya (are you playing in your own home?)? Jaldi daal ek ball (bowl one ball quickly). Yaar, Kuldeep do-do baar warning le li (Brother, Kuldeep we have gotten the warning twice now already),” stated Kuldeep, as picked up through the stump mic.

What is the stop-clock rule in cricket?
For the unversed, the International Cricket Council (ICC) had recently introduced a stop-clock system beginning with the commencement of the 2025–27 cycle of the World Test Championship. This rule had already been existing in white-ball cricket, but extended its scope to Tests to make sure that the teams do not abuse the limitations of time.
As per the directive, the fielding team is required to start the next over within 60 seconds from the conclusion of the previous one. The umpires will provide the captain of the fielding team with a couple of warnings if the rule is not followed. Five penalty runs are to be awarded to the batting side on the occasion of a third offence in a single innings.
