The Proteas’ three-wicket win levelled the four-match series after India won the opening game by 61 runs in Durban on Friday.
Proteas batter Tristan Stubbs steered the team to victory after they again struggled against the spin of India. Picture: Phill Magakoe / AFPChakravarthy took five for 17 to give India a chance of victory as the tourists attempted to defend a below-par total of 124 for six.
Chakravarthy, 33, sent down a mixture of googlies and top-spinners on an immaculate line. South Africa were in deep trouble at 67 for six when he completed his four-over spell.But he has taken 13 wickets in five matches since being recalled earlier this year. "He's been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time, working hard on his bowling and trying to make a difference."
Sanju Samson, who hit a century in Durban, was bowled for nought by Jansen off the third ball of the game.
