A menacing Mohammed Siraj picked up career-best figures of 6 for 15 as South Africa skittled to 55 all out in the morning session on Day 1 of the Cape Town Test.
The pacer wreaked havoc with the new ball as only a couple of Proteas batters managed double-digit scores amid a horrifying collapse.
Jasprit Bumrah and debutant Mukesh Kumar provided Siraj with perfect support, grabbing a couple of wickets each as South Africa folded inside 24 overs.
Siraj conceded just 15 runs from his nine overs as he triggered an abject surrender from South African batters on a pace-bowling friendly pitch.
Captain Dean Elgar’s decision to bat first after winning the toss in his farewell Test turned out to be a nightmare for the home side.
Kyle Verreynne made 15 and David Bedingham 12 as all the other remaining South African batters were dismissed for single-digit scores.
Jasprit Bumrah (2/25) and Mukesh Kumar (2/0) took the other South African wickets.
Brief Scores:
South Africa: 55 all out in 23.2 overs (Kyle Verreynne 15; Mohammed Siraj 6/15).
