Though Indian batters got a good start, the middle-order batting crumbled without scoring a run and the scoreboard went from 153 for 5 wickets to 153 all out.

South African Batters continued to bat from where they left on the 1st day but as wickets kept on falling, Aiden Markram played wonderfully but unfortunately didn’t find anyone that could have built a partnership.

From the Indian side, today Yashasvi Jaiswal started the game differently and started hitting shots from the very 1st ball.

This time the 5-day test match just ended on the 2nd day with a great win for India. It was the last time under Dhoni’s captainship in 2010-11 that India drew a Test Series against South Africa in their country. This has been the first time that India has won a Test Match in Cape Town. Yet every Indian cricket fan will have to wait for a Test Series win against South Africa in their native land.
