The South Africa national cricket team visited India in 2000 for a two-match Test series and a five-match ODI series.[1] The Test teams were led by Hansie Cronje and Sachin Tendulkar respectively for South Africa and India, while the latter's ODI side was led by Sourav Ganguly. South Africa won the Test series 2–0, while India took the ODI series by a 3–2 margin. The ODI series was later marred by a dramatic match fixing scandal.[2] It was the first time that a visiting Test team had won in India for thirteen years, and the last Test matches to be played by Cronje.[3]
