SA 133-all out (48 ovs) f/o & 162 vs India 497-9 | Scorecard

This was India's first Test series whitewash against South Africa but overall this was the sixth time that India have registered a Test series whitewash, with three of them coming under Virat Kohli's captaincy.

India have now registered 11 consecutive series wins at home.

"Our game plan was clear, to take the pitch out of the equation. To hell with the pitch, we just wanted to take 20 wickets irrespective of where we were playing. We are just focussed on taking 20 wickets and with the batting line-up that we have, we could get those World Test Championships points," said India head coach Ravi Shastri.

"It was a complete team effort. In India you normally have one or two players hogging the limelight but in this series if you see everyone had chipped in and that is what you want."
