India struggled to find momentum in response. Although Jaishvi Jaiswal58 promising promising and Washington Sundar48 nights, hosts closed for 2017.
Hease extended the dominance by scoring a massive goal
Chased, instead of rebuilding, South Africa batted again and extended the lead beyond India’s deficit. The move proved tactical and effective. Tristan Stubbs Growing up in red-ball-to-pink cricket, he lost his maturity, an unfairly lost century late to the toss. Tony de zorzi He added a solid 49 to get the scoreboard moving.

India collapse under pressure on day 5
India ended Day 4 at 21/2, dealing with both the scoreboard pressure and a relentless South African attack. With only pride to play for and life to live for, the hosts came out on Day 5 to drag the game into the final session. Instead, their resistance was short-lived. Harmer charged with a masterclass in bounce bowling with an uninhibited line, length and slip. His 6/37 broke India’s back, taking out key batsmen at regular intervals.

A historic moment under the leadership of Temba Bavuma
This victory makes one of South Africa’s most memorable test series wins abroad. Per head Temba BavumaThe Proteas repeated their 1999/00 success with another 2-0 sweep in India – a feat few teams have managed. Their composed batting, disciplined bowling and sharp fielding defined a tour in which they consistently dominated the hosts. For India, the series has thrown questions about batting depth, bowling execution and adaptation under pressure, leaving the team management with a lot of pressure and adaptation questions to look ahead to the tasks ahead.
Here is the reaction of the fans:
A disappointing display of patience and technique from the Indian batsmen. You need to buy players from the test team who can play better.

2-0 series sweep for SA winning India after 25 years. Call them Chokers now! We excelled with bat, ball and field. India’s capitulation in this series was undone by throwing a few questions that couldn’t be ducked or brushed off

Really disappointed with how India fared in test cricket. All-out obsession is definitely brain fade, especially when you don’t screw them up.
Poor tactics, poor skills, poor body language and an unprecedented 2 series whitewash at home. I hope it doesn’t work…– Venkatesh Prasad (@hevenkateshprasad) November 26, 2025
