India captain Rishabh Pant was dismissed cheaply while attempting a big shot against South African seamer Marco Jansen on Day 3 (Monday, November 24) of the second Test in the two-match series. The match is being played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

The umpire raised his finger, and Pant opted for a review, but the Snickometer confirmed the ball had taken the edge, resulting in a wasted review for the India captain.
