India Vs South Africa News

South Africa beat India by three wickets and an over left to equalise the series 1-1. Varun Chakravarthy’s career-best fifer went in vain as the Indian pacers leaked 40 runs in the last three overs with Tristan Stubbs gleaming in a tricky run-chase before the attention switches to Centurion.

When making a comeback, it's important to bury the past and start afresh. Varun Chakravarthy’s comeback to India has been nothing short of an extraordinary turnaround from the time he was a part of the 2021 T20 World Cup, with a fifer against South Africa serving as the pinnacle of his performance.

After a thrashing in the first Test, India drew the two-match Test series with a historic maiden win in Cape Town. Dean Elgar’s farewell Test saw a brilliant century from Aiden Markram despite the contest getting wrapped up within a paltry five sessions where the bowlers wreaked havoc on each day.

Centuries in Test cricket are common but notching the milestone mark in difficult conditions demands innumerous talent. On the second day of the Cape Town Test, Aiden Markram displayed a sheer grit and skillset to drag his team out of scrutiny with a ton that received applause from the opposition.
