South Africa all out for 55 runs

India suffered a crushing defeat in the opening Test in Centurion, where they lost by an innings and 32 runs on Day 3.

Following the crushing defeat, India bowled out South Africa for just 55 runs on the opening day of the second and final Test on Wednesday in Cape Town.

India dismissed South Africa at the lowest total for any team against India in tests.

Pacer Mohammed Siraj delivered a remarkable performance, taking six wickets. He exhibited exceptional bowling, conceding only 15 runs in nine overs and compelling the South African batsmen to succumb on a pitch favoring pace bowlers.

The decision by Captain Dean Elgar to bat first, following his toss-winning farewell Test, ended up being a nightmare for the home side.

Jasprit Bumrah secured two South African scalps, while debutant Mukesh Kumar got two wickets. Only two batsmen managed to reach the double digits.

Kyle Verreynne was the top scorer for South Africa with 15 runs. The other double-digit getter was David Bedingham, with 12 runs.

Earlier, South Africa's captain, Dean Elgar, won the toss and chose to bat first in the crucial second and final Test against India at Newlands on Wednesday.
