South Africa suffered a whitewash on their previous Test tour to India
South Africa last toured India for a Test series in 2019, where they endured a disappointing campaign. The opening match of the three-Test series took place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, where the visitors suffered a 203-run defeat while chasing 395 in the fourth innings.
Their struggles continued in the second Test at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, going down by an innings and 137 runs. Virat Kohli was the star of the match with a magnificent unbeaten 254.
India maintained their dominance in the final Test at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, clinching another emphatic win by an innings and 202 runs. Rohit Sharma stole the spotlight with a career-best knock of 212 as the hosts completed a commanding 3-0 whitewash.
