Wickets kept falling one after another, and India never settled into the chase. By the second session, the Indian cricket team was bowled out for just 93. With this famous 30-run win, South Africa took a 2-0 lead in the ongoing two-match Test series in India.
Rank turner backfires badly for India
After lunch, Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar tried to bring some stability and even attempted to counterattack, but the hope didn’t last long. Jurel, who had started to find some rhythm, fell for 13 as Simon Harmer opened his own demolition act.

Maturity is when you realise Rohit Sharma's captaincy was not the problem in the whitewash against New Zealand at home. It was Gautam Gambhir who was the main culprit. Rohit Sharma never lost a test series as captain before Gambhir.History will be kinder to you Rohit Sharma ❤️ pic.twitter.com/VmWiv6gCNR
