In what is Dean Elgar's farewell series, the second Test at Newlands in Cape Town began with Elgar, leading South Africa as the stand-in skipper, winning the toss and opting to bat first. The decision backfired as Mohammed Siraj's career-best 6 for 15 bowled South Africa out for a paltry 55 runs. In response, India gained a first-innings lead with Virat Kohli contributing 46 runs, but suffered a dramatic collapse from 153/4 to 153 all out, losing their last six wickets for no runs in 11 balls. Lungi Ngidi took 3 wickets for 30 runs, helping South Africa limit India's lead to 56 runs. At the close of an eventful first day, South Africa was 62/3 in their second innings, trailing India by 36 runs.
