| Scorecard |
India needed just a day and a half and 642 balls to beat South Africa by seven wickets in the shortest Test to produce a winner in the history of the game.
Set 79 to win, the tourists got over the line midway through the afternoon session on day two at Newlands to conclude a remarkable match.
South Africa were bowled out for 55 on day one and, despite Aiden Markram's superb 106, they were all out again for 176 by the end of the second morning.
India's win means the series ends 1-1.
The previous shortest Test also involved South Africa, who were beaten by Australia in 656 balls in Melbourne in 1932.
