The Indian seamer picked five wickets for just 44 in 16 overs and helped India bundle out South Africa for just 197 runs.

They took the first four wickets for just 94 runs on the fourth day of the Test before removing the last six wickets on the final day of the Test match. South Africa were bowled out for 191 runs in the last innings and thereby lost the Test match by 113 runs.

Dean Elgar was the only batsman who looked assured at the crease. He made 77 off 156 balls. However, once he got out, India didn’t take a lot of time to wrap things up. In what has come as a major development, Quinton de Kock has announced his retirement from Test Cricket. He won’t be playing for South Africa in the remaining two matches of the Test series.
