India is staring at an improbable chase in the final Test, requiring 522 runs to level the series after losing two early wickets. South Africa declared their second innings at 260/5, setting a formidable target and aiming for a historic series sweep.
The Indian team, trailing 0-1 in the series, lost openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, ending the fourth day at 27 for 2. They now face the monumental task of chasing a target that has never been successfully chased in Asia, with only three sessions left in the match.
South Africa, bolstered by strong performances from Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi, holds a significant lead. The Proteas need to take eight wickets on the final day to complete the series whitewash, a feat that would mark a significant achievement at the 'final frontier'. Spin is expected to play a crucial role on the final day.
