South Africa crushed India by 408 runs in Guwahati, sealing a 2-0 series sweep and inflicting India’s heaviest-ever Test defeat by runs.
The Proteas declared on 260-5 to set India a daunting 549-run target, before bowling them out for just 140 on the final day, with only Ravindra Jadeja offering resistance with 54.
Spinner Simon Harmer claimed six wickets and Aiden Markram took a record nine catches as South Africa secured just their second Test series win in India and their first since 2000.
The result marks India’s second home series loss in two years after more than a decade of dominance, while South Africa strengthened their position in the World Test Championship with 11 wins from 12 Tests under captain Temba Bavuma.
