Temba Bavuma and Corbin Bosch added a 44-run partnership for the eighth wicket that helped the team post a decent total. Chasing 124, India were bowled out for just 93 runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, November 16. South Africa recorded a 30-run win and took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
“It was wrong. Test-match mornings always have to start with your best bowlers. You can finish the game with other bowlers only if you are massively ahead of the others. If you want to give opportunities to other bowlers, you can give opportunities," Ravichandran Ashwin said.

Ravichandran Ashwin pointed out that Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Corbin Bosch in his first spell. He stated that the pitch would have offered less spin after the roller and that this tactical error by Rishabh Pant played a major role in India letting the match slip away.

Team India Bowled Out for 93 Runs in the Chase
Chasing 124 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul got out in the first three overs, leaving the team at 1 for 2. Washington Sundar (31 off 92) and Ravindra Jadeja (18 off 26) tried to revive the chase with small contributions, but the rest of the batting line-up had no answers to South Africa’s tight bowling.
The loss broke India’s unbeaten Eden Gardens streak from 2013. It was also South Africa’s first Test win in India since 2010. The visiting team secured crucial points in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle.
