In a shocking turn of events, India failed to chase a modest target of 124 runs, allowing South Africa to clinch their first Test victory on Indian soil in 15 years. The low-scoring thriller left the home crowd stunned as the Indian batting lineup collapsed under pressure against South Africa’s fiery bowling attack.
South African bowlers displayed exceptional discipline and aggression, dismantling India’s top order early in the innings. Despite the seemingly achievable target, India struggled to build partnerships and succumbed to the visitors’ relentless pace and spin combination.
Cricket analysts are calling it one of South Africa’s most memorable away Test wins in recent history. The victory not only boosts their confidence but also reshapes the momentum of the Test series.
Meanwhile, questions are being raised over India’s batting approach and their inability to handle pressure on home turf despite favorable conditions.
