Virat Kohli-led Team India’s dream for a maiden Test series win on South African soil ended on Friday as the Proteas romped towards a seven-wicket win in the third and final Test in Cape Town. With the win, the Proteas completed a come-from-behind series victory (2-1), after having lost the first Test by 113 runs.
On Day three of the Test on Thursday, India had set a target of 212 for the Proteas after Rishabh Pant’s ton took the visitors to 198 in the second innings.
Amidst a day overshadowed by a DRS controversy, the Proteas managed to put up 101/2 at the end of Day 3, having lost openers Markram and Elgar.
Keegan Peterson was the only one to depart on Day four after a brilliant knock of 82, and soon after lunch, Rassie van der Dussen (41*) and Temba Bavuma (32*).
