This is surely a new low for India at home in Test cricket. There is a lot to think about for India and for SA, it has been a tour to remember. The 408-run win also happens to be SA’s second-biggest victory margin by runs after 492 against Australia in Johannesburg, 2018. For the unversed, this is South Africa’s second Test series win in India after their 2-0 sweep in February-March 2000 under Hansie Cronje. It would be interesting to see what happens in the days to come, coach Gautam Gambhir is already facing a lot of criticism.
