India secured a commanding 7-wicket win against South Africa on the second day of the 2nd Test in Cape Town, leveling the two-match series 1-1. The triumph was attributed to the exceptional performance of Indian pacers, led by Mohammed Siraj, who displayed consistent brilliance on the challenging Newlands Cricket Ground pitch.

On Day 1, South Africa's batting crumbled under the relentless attack of Siraj, Bumrah, and Mukesh Kumar, being bowled out for 55 runs. In response, India faced its own challenges as Kagiso Rabada's fiery spell saw the team losing 6 wickets in just 11 balls, posting a total of 153.

As the unusual sequence of events continued, South Africa batted again on Day 1, ending at 64/3. Day 2 witnessed Bumrah's impactful spell and Aiden Markram's resilient century, but the Indian pacers once again dominated, bowling out South Africa for 176.

Chasing a modest target of 79, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal adopted an aggressive approach, securing victory with Rohit playing a calm inning. The win showcased India's bowling prowess and determination, marking a successful comeback after the Centurion defeat. The series now stands at 1-1, setting the stage for an intriguing decider.
