South Africa pulled off a stunning 30-run win over India in the first Test at Eden Gardens, despite being bowled out for 159 on Day 1.
Chasing 124, India collapsed for 93 as off-spinner Simon Harmer’s 4-21 and disciplined support bowling dismantled the hosts.
Temba Bavuma’s composed 55 not out proved decisive, helping South Africa set a challenging target on a tricky pitch. India, missing Shubman Gill, faltered early as Marco Jansen removed both openers. Brief resistance from Washington Sundar and Axar Patel wasn’t enough, as South Africa sealed their first Test victory in India in 15 years to go 1-0 up.
