South Africa Wins Test Series In India: The South African cricket team, the ICC World Test Championship champions, is on a journey to create new records this year. First, they won the biggest Test title for the first time this year by defeating Australia in the WTC final, and now, playing a Test series on Indian soil, they have achieved something remarkable that has given South African cricket fans another reason to celebrate. In the second Test of the India-South Africa Test Series 2025 (IND vs SA Test Series 2025), visiting South Africa once again defeated India, clean sweeping the series with two consecutive victories to win the title.

While South Africa has now achieved some impressive records, Team India has also achieved a very shameful record.
