SA Beat IND by 408 Runs | India vs South Africa 2nd Test 2025 Day 5 Highlights: Proteas Clinch Series 2-0, Team India Suffer Whitewash At Home

The 25-year wait has come to an end for South Africa, and the Proteas have managed to win a Test in India, but also took the bar higher, sweeping the Men in Blue for a second time in their last three series at home. South Africa after Day 2 never looked in the Test, and credit must be given to Temba Bavuma, coach Shukri Conrad, having instilling confidence and belief within the players. 

OUT! And Ravindra Jadeja goes for a maximum, and manages to get himself stumped. After scoring a 28th Test half-century, this was on the cards, with India losing all their specialist batters. Keshav Maharaj picks his first wicket of the innings. Jadeja st Verreynne b Maharaj 54(87) [4s-4 6s-2]

OUT! A nothing shot from Nitish Kumar Reddy, who goes for the reverse sweep, and perishes. Simon Harmer gets his sixth wicket of the innings, and South Africa are on the cusp of a historic win. Nitish Reddy c Verreynne b Harmer 0(3)

OUT! And, another one bites the dust. Simon Harmer claims his second-ever Test five-wicket haul, and Washington Sundar's stay in the middle has to end. Sundar poked outside the off-stump line and handed Markram his ninth catch of the match, which is the most by a fielder in a Test. 

Up to Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar to repeat their heroics from Manchester. Jadeja is nearing his half-century, which will be his 28th in Test cricket. 

OUT! Sai Sudharsan's horror stay in the middle comes to an end. Sudharsan poked and persished as yet another batter hands a catch in the slip cordon. Senuran Muthusamy gets his first wicket in this Test.  Sai Sudharsan c Markram b Muthusamy 14(139) [4s-1]

TEA! And, India safely go into Tea without further damage, after losing three wickets in the session. Sai Sudarshan and Ravindra Jadeja are clearly playing for survival, something India never imagined in home conditions. 

After a flurry of wickets, Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan have managed to stop the bleeding, with the pair adding 15 runs off 50-odd balls. It is all about delaying the inevitable for India, given their position in the Test. 

OUT! Simon Harmer is making a mockery of Indian batters, and this time, Rishabh Pant becomes his newest victim.  Pant wanted to defend the ball, but ended up handing a simple regulation catch to the slip region. Pant c Markram b Harmer 13(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

OUT! Simon Harmer gets his second of the over, and Dhruv Jurel has to walk back without much. Dhruv Jurel went for the forward defence, but only ended up giving a regulation catch to Aiden Markram in slips Dhruv Jurel c Markram b Harmer 2(3)

OUT! Simon Harmer gets the better of Kuldeep Yadav. Yadav played for the spin, but the ball did not turn, and went with the angle between the bat and pad, to crash into the stumps. Kuldeep Yadav b Harmer 5(38) [4s-1]

A lot of pressure will be on Sai Sudharsan and Kuldeep Yadav to play out the first hour or so without giving their wicket away. Yadav proved his batting in the first innings and hopes to repeat the same. South Africa will bank on Marco Jansen to trouble India with a relatively new-ball.
