South Africa won the toss, and D. Ganesh made his Test debut for India. What followed was a match of huge momentum swings, brilliant batting, and another dominant Proteas victory — despite one legendary partnership. 🏏 South Africa’s Mammoth First Innings South Africa posted their highest Test total since readmission, powered by: • Gary Kirsten – patient century (after surviving chances on 0 & 10) • Daryl Cullinan – fluent innings • Brian McMillan – superb hundred • Lance Klusener – record-breaking 102 (100 balls) → fastest SA Test hundred at the time Klusener and McMillan added 147 for the 8th wicket, breaking a 94-year-old South African partnership record. 🇮🇳 India’s Collapse Before the Fightback India were 58/5, with: • Raman run out • Dravid bowled • Prasad out first ball • Ganguly caught at slip • Laxman flicking to Pollock South Africa seemed certain to enforce the follow-on… 🔥 The Historic 222-run Stand (in Just 40 Overs!) Sachin Tendulkar (169) and Mohammad Azharuddin (115 off 110 balls) played one of the greatest counterattacking partnerships ever. • 19 fours and a six from Azhar • Klusener smashed for 30 in a 6-over spell • Spectacular aggression despite India’s crisis • Azhar run out at 197 partnership • Tendulkar dismissed via a stunning catch by Adam Bacher • India avoided the follow-on with 2 wickets in hand One of the most entertaining Test cricket afternoons — even President Nelson Mandela watched on during the extended lunch presentation. 🏏 South Africa Take Control Again India made early inroads, but: • Hudson–Cullinan partnership • McMillan–Pollock stand …took the game away. Cronje declared with a lead of 426 runs, giving SA 118 overs to bowl India out — they needed only 67. In
