India tour of South Africa 2023–24 (2 Tests, 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is)
India’s tour of South Africa in 2023-24 was a mixed bag. The 3 match T20I series was drawn 1–1 after rain washed out the first game. Kuldeep Yadav took 6 wickets in the series.
The 3 match ODI series saw both sides rotate heavily; India clinched it 2–1 thanks to some strong bowling performances, with Arshdeep Singh taking 10 wickets.
The 2 match test series finished 1–1, with India securing a rare Test win in South Africa (at Cape Town) but missing out on a series victory. India had bowled out South Africa for 55 in the first inning of the 2nd test match. Virat Kohli was the top-scorer for India with 172 runs, while Jasprit Bumrah took 12 wickets.
South Africa in India 2025 (Current Tour - 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is)
The South Africa tour of India 2025 has already taken an unexpected turn, with the visitors stunning India 2–0 in the Test series — their first Test series win on Indian soil in 25 years. South Africa edged India by 30 runs in the 1st Test at Eden Gardens, before completely outplaying the hosts in Guwahati with a massive 408-run victory, built on big first-innings runs and dominant spells from Marco Jansen, Simon Harmer and Senuran Muthusamy. India struggled for batting consistency and couldn’t counter South Africa’s pace–spin combination.
The tour has now moved into the white-ball phase, 3-match ODI series starting with the 1st ODI in Ranchi. The remaining ODIs in Raipur and Visakhapatnam, followed by a 5-match T20I series across Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad, offer India a chance to bounce back and regain momentum. For South Africa, the ODI and T20 legs are an opportunity to complete a rare all-format domination in India, while for India, the focus shifts to regrouping quickly, stabilising their batting and bowlers, and finishing the tour strongly before heading into a packed 2026 international calendar.
