If we look at the weather now, dew falls in Ranchi at night, in such a situation the role of toss will be important. The captain who wins the toss will want to bowl first, because due to dew, it will become difficult for the bowlers in the second innings.

Bavuma’s return possible, India can enter with a winning team

After the Test series, Temba Bavuma was rested from the first ODI, in whose absence Aiden Markram took over the captaincy. Team India would not like to tamper with the winning team.

India or South Africa, who has the upper hand?

Rohit, Kohli, KL Rahul are in form, Yashasvi undoubtedly did not play in the last match but if his bat works then he can prove to be the most dangerous in Raipur. He plays fast bowlers well, Rohit also takes advantage of the fast pace. But South Africa’s batsmen are also no less, this can be gauged from the fact that even after the top order flop in the last match, the visiting team was close to victory till the last over.

There seems to be depth in South Africa’s batting, if Temba Bavuma comes then surely the visiting team will become stronger. South African batsmen play pace well, so the visiting team will have the upper hand in the second ODI.

After 25 years, the South African team has won the Test series in India. In terms of runs, this is India’s biggest defeat in Test cricket.

South Africa wins test series in India after 25 years

South Africa last won a Test series in India in 2000 under the captaincy of Hansie Cronje. At that time too, under the captaincy of Hansie Cronje, South Africa had won the two-match Test series 2-0. Now after 25 years, Temba Bavuma has repeated the same feat. The victory of 408 runs is South Africa’s second biggest victory in Test cricket.

In the Guwahati Test, South Africa had set a target of 549 runs for India in the fourth innings, in response to which Team India was all out for 140 runs. Spinner Simon Harmer took 6 wickets. Marco Jansen, who performed brilliantly with bat and ball, got the title of Player of the Match. Simon Harmer became the player of the series.

Now South Africa has given a clean sweep in the two-match test series. After almost 40 years, India has got a clean sweep in two consecutive Test series at home.

South Africa defeated India by a huge margin of 408 runs in the second test played in Guwahati. Chasing the target of 549 runs, India’s second innings ended on 140 runs. This Test saw a shameful performance by the Indian batsmen, only Yashasvi Jaiswal could score a half-century in the first innings and only Ravindra Jadeja could score a half-century in the second innings. Even in the first innings, Team India was all out for 201 runs. Temba Bavuma maintained his record of never losing a Test as captain in this series as well. South Africa won the 2-match test series 2-0.

5th defeat in last 7 matches, Team India slipped in WTC points table

India has lost 5 out of the last 7 Tests played at home. Last year, in the same month, Team India lost the Test series 3-0 at home to New Zealand. Before Guwahati, Team India had also had a shameful performance in Kolkata, where the pitch was blamed but here the batsmen of the visiting team had performed brilliantly. Still, no Indian batsman played on this pitch. Senuran Muthusamy had scored a century (109) in the first innings, while bowler Marco Jansen had also scored a lot of runs (93) on the Indian bowlers, but he missed his century.

After losing the Test series 0-2 to South Africa, India has reached 5th position in the World Test Championship 2025-2027 points table.

South Africa had scored 489 runs in the first innings

Temba Bavuma won the toss and decided to bat first. Aiden Markram (38) and Ryan Rickelton (35) gave a good start to the team by making a partnership of 82 runs for the first wicket. Tristan Stubbs (49) and Temba Bavuma (41) made a partnership of 84 runs for the third wicket. Indian bowlers were ineffective in the first innings, this can be gauged from the fact that lower order batsman Marco Jansen also played a quick inning of 93 runs, with the help of which South Africa reached a total of 489.

Senuran Muthusamy scored the most runs for South Africa in the first innings, he scored 109 runs with the help of 2 sixes and 10 fours. This is his first test century. Marco Jansen created history by hitting 7 sixes in his explosive innings of 93 runs. He became the batsman to hit the joint-highest number of sixes in a Test innings against India.

Kuldeep Yadav took maximum 4 wickets in the first innings for India, but his economy was 3.94. He spent 115 runs. Bumrah and Siraj had 2-2 wickets in their name, they also failed to control the runs.

India’s first innings was reduced to 201 runs

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul gave a good start to India in the first innings, both of them made a partnership of 65 runs for the first wicket. However, India’s middle order was a complete flop. Rahul (22) was dismissed by Keshav Maharaj, after which Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his half-century. He also became the victim of Simon Harmer after scoring 58 runs. This was India’s second wicket at 95, after this India’s 7th wicket fell at the score of 122. That means 6 wickets fell within 27 runs.

Sai Sudarshan (15), Dhruv Jurel (0), Rishabh Pant (7), Ravindra Jadeja (6), Nitish Kumar Reddy (10) were out cheaply. Marco Yansen took 6 wickets in this innings. The partnership between Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav somehow took India beyond 200. Sundar scored 48 runs, while Kuldeep scored only 19 runs but he faced 134 balls.

Team India’s second innings ended at 140.

South Africa had taken a lead of 288 runs in the first innings. The visiting team declared the second innings at 260/5 and set a target of 549 for India to win. Tristan Stubbs scored 93 runs in the second innings, but he missed his century. With his wicket, Bavuma had declared the innings.

The flop show of Indian batsmen continued in the second innings also. Yashasvi Jaiswal (13), KL Rahul (6) could not get a good start, Jaiswal was dismissed by Yansen and KL Rahul was made his victim by Harmer.

Today, on the last day of the Test, the third wicket of India’s innings fell in the form of Kuldeep Roop. After this, Dhruv Jurel (2) and Rishabh Pant (13) also got out cheaply. Sudarshan also left after scoring 14 runs. Ravindra Jadeja struggled to some extent, but it was not enough. Jadeja scored 54 runs with the help of 2 sixes and 4 fours. India’s second innings was reduced to 140 runs. South Africa won this match by a huge margin of 408 runs.

In this innings, Simon Harmer took the maximum of 6 wickets, this was the second five wicket haul of his Test career. Keshav Maharaj took 2 wickets. Marco Jansen and Senuran Muthusamy took 1-1 wicket.
