Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada bowled exceptionally upfront as SA claimed seven Indian wickets with 55 balls and in just over an hour on Tuesday morning.
India started day three of this Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park on 272/3 but Ngidi, Rabada and debutant Marco Jansen ripped through their middle and lower order to bowl the visitors out for 327.
SA were on 21/1 when lunch arrived, with Keegan Petersen on 11 and Aiden Markram on 9 after the early dismissal on 1 run of captain Dean Elgar, who was caught by Rishbh Pant from the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah in the first over. Ngidi joined the party with his fourth wicket of the match when Anjikya Rahane nicked the ball to De Kock as the Proteas began to make inroads into the Indian middle order.
