South Africa complete 2-0 Test whitewash over India

South Africa successfully secured a historic 2-0 Test series whitewash against hosts India, sealing a dominant 408-run victory at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday. This monumental triumph marks the Proteas' first Test series win on Indian soil in exactly twenty-five years.

Resuming play on Day 5 at 27 for two while needing 522 more runs, India’s faint hopes disintegrated rapidly. The early wickets of Kuldeep Yadav, Dhruv Jurel, and Rishabh Pant left the home side reeling at 58 for five. Although Sai Sudharsan displayed immense resilience, facing 139 balls for his 37, and Ravindra Jadeja fought bravely for a counter-attacking 54, the resistance was insufficient.

South African spinner Simon Harmer was the absolute chief destroyer, claiming a magnificent six-wicket haul to dismantle the Indian lineup. India was eventually bundled out for a meager 140, handing South Africa a comprehensive victory and a truly memorable away series sweep.
