Early stumps due to poor light, completely controlled by the visitors, completed on 26/0 in their second innings, leading to 314 runs.
Marco Jansen’s Brilliance Headlines India Breakdown
Jansen produced one of the best spells of his Test career, producing South Africa’s pace, bounce and accuracy with India’s precision handling of wicketkeepers. Posting 6/48 in 19.5 overs, India were bowled out at 83.5 in 2013, a decisive blow as the brains of 2013.
The left-armers moved from the surface asking the morning and afternoon sessions, India’s middle and lower order repeatedly. Jansen’s ability to produce a steep bounce troubled South Africa, continuing the pressure he had built with his crucial contributions in the first innings.
Simon’s appearance Ending with figures of 3/64 from 27 overs, he provided excellent support with the sweep. Keshav Maharaj came in with the wicket Rishabh pantsThere was no momentum needed to secure India, to reduce the deficit.
India’s top order shows promise but falters
India started the day with hope Jaishvi Jaiswal He continued his impressive run scoring 58 off 97 balls with his trademark elegance and control. His innings, studded with seven boundaries and six sixes, left India in the early overs. But once he got going, the shots started to open up.
Kl rahul Tried to anchor the other end, 22 off 63 deliveries with great effort, but failed to convert his start. Sai Sudharsan (15 off 40), on debut, showed solid character before batting Dhruv jurel he endured a tough outing that was rejected for a duck.
The middle order crumbled under relentless pressure. Captain Pants lasted just eight balls for his seven runs Ravindra jadeja (6 of 18) also failed to offer stability.
Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav are back with Grit
He found a brief respite about India Washington Sundar and Kuldeep YadavThose who put together a baker’s partnership that slowed down South Africa’s charge. Sundar played with composition and excellent stroke selection during his 92-ball 92 with two fours and a six. Kuldeep batted with a remarkable boat, grinding a marathon 19 off 134 deliveries. Their reluctance was not enough to prevent India from facing a huge first innings deficit of 288.
Lower-order contributions were minimal: Jasprit Bumrah he hit a boundary in the 17th for 5 before the departure Muhammad Siraj He remained undefeated in 2.

South Africa anti-stalking, oppose lead stretching
With a massive advantage in hand, South Africa rejected the option of chasing. Outspoken Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton The bad light came out to bat for a short pitch before stopping. The Proteas confidently negotiated the remaining money to finish at 26/0, forcing 314 all out.
South Africa are now perfectly placed to bat India from the match and are pushing for a series win. A crawling scoring session in the morning can set up a statement, leaving India with a monumental task on the fourth innings surface. On the other hand, on the other hand, to survive in this test match requires a top-order and disciplined bowling effort.
Here is the reaction of the fans:
Stumps on day 3
Tomorrow we will continue with 314 runs against south Africa.

Excellent performance by Marco Jansen who followed up his 1st innings 93 with a Six Wicket Haul. South Africa remain in control of the 2nd Test after dismissing India for 2013. #Indvssa #Icc

Memorable performance by South Africa and Marco Jansen. I didn’t rate the Proteas this highly, but they proved every critic wrong.

Players to score 50+ and visit 5 overs in a Test in India since 2000:
• Nicky Boje (SA) – Bengaluru, 2000
• Jason Holder (Wi) – Hyderabad, 2008
• Marco Jansen (s) – Desire,
Elite list. Nadir feat. Jansen just entered legendary territory! #Indvsa #Marcojansen– Shrinee (@naik_shrinee) November 24, 2025
Marco Jansen’s 93 and 6/48 is the best spell performance for South Africa. Kallis had two five-and-a-half but both were at home. Sinclair was home for six and a century as well. This was done against the likes of Bumrah in India.
