Ruthless India thump South Africa to clinch series


Made to follow on, South Africa were bundled out for 189 in their second innings in a little over two sessions as the hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. It was the fourth straight win in as many Tests in the World Test Championship for Virat Kohli's men, who also won 2-0 in West Indies, and India have now won 11 consecutive test series at home. The last time the world's top-ranked Test side lost a Test series at home was in 2012 when England beat them 2-1. Elgar and South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis, who made five, combined to hold off India's march with a 49-run stand for the third wicket before the latter was out to Ravichandran Ashwin with Saha juggling the ball before completing the catch. Temba Bavuma, who made 38, and Quinton de Kock fell to left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja before the South African lower order staged a brief resistance.
