Watch: Mohammed Siraj wishes Happy New Year as Team India arrives in Cape Town for 2nd Test against South Africa

NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket team landed in Cape Town ahead of the second Test starting from Wednesday at Newlands.

The BCCI shared a video of the team's arrival on X:

India lost the first of the two Test matches at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Thursday by an innings and 32 runs, exhibiting a complete and utter capitulation in the span of three days.

With the series consisting of only two matches India can at best earn a share of the honours if they win the second Test.

India had no answer to South Africa's pace attack as they crashed to 131 all out in their second innings, after conceding a 163-run first innings lead.

Virat Kohli hit an aggressive 76 for India before he was last man out but the rest of the batting collapsed against South Africa's fast bowlers on a lively pitch.

Dean Elgar was named man of the match in his final Test on his home ground. He has announced he will retire from international cricket after the second Test.

Former captain Elgar, who led the team on the field after Bavuma's injury, will captain the team in Cape Town.
