1st Test: Harmer Picks 4-21 As South Africa Bowl Out India For 93 To Win By 30 Runs
The 30-run victory also marked South Africa’s first Test win in India in 15 years, as the visitors now lead the two-match series 1-0. Off-spinner Simon Harmer excelled with figures of 4-21, while the rest of the attack worked together to dismantle India’s batting line-up on a tricky pitch, where chasing anything above 100 was always going to be a challenging task.
In the chase of 124, India really missed Shubman Gill, who was ruled out due to neck surgery and had to be hospitalised. After captain Temba Bavuma’s resilient 55 not out, and his useful 44-run stand with Corbin Bosch, South Africa’s lead extended to 123. Harmer’s exceptional bowling, coupled with key wickets from Marco Jansen, Aiden Markram, and Keshav Maharaj, helped the Proteas surprise India and leave the crowd silent.
