India 140-all out (63.4); Target to win: 549 | SCORECARD

The 408-run defeat is India's biggest defeat in Tests in terms of runs. Their previous biggest margin of defeat was 342 runs against Australia in Nagpur in October 20024.

The last time India lost two Test series at home across two consecutive years was nearly four decades ago -- 3-0 against West Indies in 1983 followed by 2-1 series loss against England in 1984.

This is the first time that India have lost five matches within a span of seven games.

This is the first time in 25 years that India have lost five Tests in a two-season stretch. 

South Africa register their first series victory in India after a long wait of 25 years, having last triumphed here in 2000 under Hansie Cronje.

Temba Bavuma continues his amazing record as captain in Tests, winning 11 out of 12 Tests while one finished in a draw.
