Simon Harmer's six-wicket haul, Senuran Muthuswamy's maiden Test century, Tristan Stubbs and Marco Jansen's brilliant outing have ensured South Africa registered a massive 408-run win over India in the second and final Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday.
India started Day 5 on a precarious 27-2, with Kuldeep Yadav (4 off 23) and Sai Sudharsan (2 off 25) holding fort. Sudharsan got a reprieve in the third over when Marco Jansen's no-ball sent the ball careening off the outside edge of his bat, giving India a much-needed lifeline.
At stumps on Day 4, India are in a precarious position (27/2) with the Proteas needing eight more wickets to whitewash India 2-0. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) and KL Rahul (6) departed cheaply. Sai Sudharsan (2*) and nightwatchman Kuldeep Yadav (4*) are at the crease.
