Guest User-442311 - Wednesday, Nov 05, 2025Test matches between India and South Africa have always been exciting. Sometimes India's spin has tested the African batsmen, and sometimes the African pacers have devastated the Indian batting. Many times, both teams have collapsed for very low scores. Let's find out.
South Africa were bundled out for just 55 runs in their first innings. Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj wreaked havoc, taking six wickets. The Test match ended in two days, and India secured a resounding victory. This remains South Africa's lowest total against India in a Test match.
In the Durban Test in December 1996, the Indian batting collapsed completely. The South African pace attack bowled out the entire team for just 66 runs. The pair of Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock kept the Indian batsmen out of contention.
In November 2015, on a spin-friendly Nagpur pitch, India's bowlers bundled out South Africa for just 79. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja combined for a superb bowling performance, putting the African batsmen on the back foot.
In December 2006, in Johannesburg, the Indian fast bowlers performed brilliantly. South Africa were bundled out for just 84 runs in the second innings. Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth combined to break the backbone of the African batting.
