"Off-spinner Harmer, 36, returned figures of 6-37 as South Africa clinched a Test series in India for only the second time, the first in 2000 under Hansie Cronje. Ravindra Jadeja resisted with 54 before Keshav Maharaj had him stumped, and the spinner soon got the final wicket of Mohammed Siraj, with Marco Jansen pulling off a stunning catch in the deep."
"India rode their luck early in the day when Jansen had Sai Sudharsan caught behind but the delivery was declared a no-ball after the bowler overstepped. The batter was on four. In the next over, another overnight batter, Kuldeep Yadav, survived a reprieve on four when Aiden Markram dropped him at first slip off Harmer. But the relief was short-lived for India as a relentless Harmer soon bowled Kuldeep for five for the first wicket of the day."
Simon Harmer took six wickets as South Africa bowled India out for 140 while chasing 549, securing a 408-run victory and a 2-0 Test series sweep in Guwahati. The win marked South Africa's first series triumph in India in 25 years and only their second overall. India suffered their biggest home defeat by runs and their fifth loss in seven home Tests, after being whitewashed by New Zealand last year. Ravindra Jadeja scored 54 before being stumped by Keshav Maharaj, who later dismissed Mohammed Siraj, with Marco Jansen taking a notable catch. Early reprieves for India included a no-ball and a dropped slip, but the batting collapsed to 58-5.
