Lungi Ngidi took his second six-wicket haul of the series to dismiss India for 327 runs.

83 minutes of mayhem occurred on Tuesday, followed by even more mayhem in the afternoon (December 28). With eight wickets falling for 76 runs in the opening session of play at the SuperSport Park in Centurion in the early hours of Tuesday, the match at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, which had been delayed by rain on Monday, has picked up pace.

Kagiso Rabada did his job

The event's third day of play proceeded, with India maintaining its stronghold on the lead, having earned a score of 272 to win three points for the team. The travelers were in for a long and exhausting day on their journey that day. This proved to be too much for them, as they were bowled out for 327 runs by Kagiso Rabada, who came in hard and bent his back to terrify the Indian batsmen with his velocity.

Indian Team fail to resist their seduction

India's failure to resist their seduction, despite Rabada's best efforts, eventually proved to be a costly mistake for the team rather than the opposite. On the first day of the match, it was the overnight batsmen, KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane, who were the ones who went out and attempted strokes that they should have avoided all day. Earlier in the day, when it came to their profession, they had shown incredible amounts of patience and perseverance. In contrast to Rahane, who edged a cut to Quinton de Kock to complete his innings with 123 runs, just two runs short of a half-century. It was the penultimate over of Rahu's innings when his swinging pull brushed the edge of the wicketkeeper's glove, resulting in the addition of 123 runs to the scoreboard.

Indian bowlers performed well

Following that, a brief parade was held in front of the building to remember the conclusion of the celebrations to mark the conclusion of the festivities. When it came to obtaining a leading edge to the fielder at cover, R Ashwin was successful, while Rishabh Pant was successful when it came to getting a leading edge to the short leg at the front end of the innings. A pair of wide drives from Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Shami slipped into de Kock's clutches early on Tuesday morning, resulting in the South African claiming a total of four catches for his efforts. In the absence of some late brilliance from Jasprit Bumrah and some persistence on the part of Mohammed Siraj in the last over, India's innings would have come to an end much sooner and with a lesser score had the match not been tied at the time of writing.

Lungi Ngidi shared his performance

The performance against India at Centurion in 2017-2018 was the best of the series so far, and Lungi Ngidi concluded it with the second-best Test bowling statistics of 6 for 71, which he shared with only his performance against India at Centurion in 2017-2018 as the best of the series so far.

Because the last wicket combination, including Rabada and Ngidi, was providing considerable issues for the Indian batters, Dean Elgar made the decision to hand the ball over to debutants Marco Jansen and Wiaan Mulder to face the last wicket combination. In the last over, the former was able to put India's innings to a conclusion with the help of a straightforward catch by Mulder at slips.

South African team host pounded by the Indian bowler

Earlier, India's bowlers pounded the hosts, with Bumrah trapping captain Elgar behind the stumps to secure the visitors a one-point victory. Keegan Petersen and Aidegan Markram did not participate in the remaining testing phases, but they were crucial in guiding the team to a 21-1 victory in the first testing phase on Thursday.
