In what Dean Elgar deemed as an “interesting wicket” while electing to bat in his farewell Test, India needed just 23.2 overs and two hours to skittle South Africa for the lowest total by any team against India in Test cricket. This is also South Africa’s lowest Test total since 1932.
Along with his fine bowling effort, Stokes had also smashed 72 off 47 runs in the second innings and 47 off 77 balls in the first essay of England as he was adjudged Man Of The Match.
Notably, South Africa won the first match by 107 runs in Centurion.
