 "India completes historic Test series win")
Indian bowlers, led by R Ashwin, showed outstanding perseverance on Monday to end South Africa's dogged resistance and register a comprehensive 337-run victory in the final Test on Monday, winning the four-match series by a historic 3-0 margin.
Needing a mammoth 481 to win, South Africa depended on their ultra-defensive strategy before being bowled out for 143 in 143.1 overs; the last five wickets falling for a mere seven runs in a dramatic collapse.
The 3-0 series win also enabled India to climb to the second slot in ICC Test rankings. Business Standard looks at the Indian cricket team's 'whitewash' Test series victories over the years.
