Reigning ICC World Test Championship holders South Africa have pulled off a remarkable feat, completing a 2-0 clean sweep over India on their home soil. The Temba Bavuma-led side emphatically sealed the series with a massive 408-run victory in the second Test in Guwahati on Wednesday. The dominant win stands as India’s heaviest Test defeat by runs and marks the first time since 2000 that South Africa have whitewashed India in a Test series in India, a historic milestone in the rivalry.

Left-arm fast bowler Marco Jansen was named Player of the Match for his excellent all-round contribution, while off-spinner Simon Harmer, who took 17 wickets across the two Tests, earned the Player of the Series award for his match-defining performances.
