India wrapped up a 3-0 series whitewash as South Africa were bowled out for 133 in the second innings in the third Test in Ranchi. After India posted a mammoth 497/9 on the scoreboard thanks to Rohit Sharma's double century and Ajinkya Rahane's ton, South Africa folded for 162 in the first innings and Virat Kohli enforced the follow-on. South Africa were close to suffering the ignominy of being bowled out twice in one day, but survived yesterday's onslaught from the Indian bowlers by the skin of their teeth. Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav have been the stars with the ball for India in this Test match. Debutant Shahbaz Nadeem, who took 2-22 in the first innings, picked up the wickets of Theunis de Bruyn and Lungi Ngidi off consecutive deliveries in his first over of the day to secure the win for India in double quick time on Day 4. (SCORECARD)
Highlights Between India vs South Africa 3rd Test Match Day 4, Straight from JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi:
Thank you for joining us, although for a short time, today for the end of this series. It has been excellent cricket from India. Next up for the Men in Blue, Bangladesh next month. Hope you join us for all the action then!
That is a clean sweep of the series and India will be very happy with their performance. They have thoroughly dominated South Africa, with both bat and ball. South Africa will have a lot to ponder after that dismal showing.
Shahbaz Nadeem strikes! Low and spinning away, de Bruyn has a swipe at it and gets an inside edge and Saha makes no mistake. Theunis de Bruyn departs for 30. India one wicket away from glory now
Welcome to Day 4 of the third India vs South Africa Test match in Ranchi. It is likely to be final day of the match - and the series - with India just two wickets away from victory. South Africa still trail India by 203 runs.
