India quickly leveled the two-match series on Thursday when they defeated South Africa by seven wickets in the second and final Test in Cape Town. India pulled off a stunning comeback following their defeat in the first Test match in Centurion. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was instrumental in this effort, finishing with impressive figures of 6/61 to hold South Africa to 176 after the hosts were astonishingly dismissed for just 55 in the opening innings. In the second session, the target of 79 was easily reached, thanks to the combined efforts of captain Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, who finished unbeaten on 17 and 4, respectively. Significantly, this Test surpassed the record set in 1932 between Australia and South Africa at the MCG to become the shortest ever in terms of overs bowled.
