Debutant Lungi Ngidi has taken six wickets in South Africa's 135-run defeat of India in the second Test in Pretoria to claim the three-match series.
Seamer Ngidi, 21, bagged 6-39 - his best in first-class cricket - as South Africa bowled India out for 151 on Wednesday in their second innings just before lunch.
The tourists had been set a victory target of 287 runs.
India resumed on the final day at 3-35, having been dealt a huge blow the evening before when Ngidi bagged the wicket of captain Virat Kohli (5).
Their slender hopes were dealt a further setback when Cheteshwar Pujara (19) became the first Indian player to be run out twice in a Test.
Ngidi had a hand in that as well as he chased the ball down to the boundary and stopped a four, with his cut-back to AB de Villiers allowing for a bullet throw to wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock that found Pujara short.
Pujara had also been run out first ball in the first innings and has been involved in six of India's past eight run-outs in Tests.
It started a procession of wickets as Parthiv Patel (19) picked out Morne Morkel on the fine-leg boundary off Kagiso Rabada (3-47), with the big fast bowler taking a magnificent catch on the run.
Hardik Pandya (6) was caught by de Kock off Ngidi, before the seamer also induced an edge from Ravichandran Ashwin (3) to the wicketkeeper to leave India reeling at 7-87.
Rohit Sharma (47) took the attack to the bowlers before he was caught brilliantly at fine leg by De Villiers off Rabada attempting a hook.
Mohammed Shami (28) was caught by Morkel off Ngidi and Jasprit Bumrah spooned a catch to Vernon Philander at mid-off to hand the youngster his sixth wicket and debut match figures of 7-90.
India are the top-ranked Test side with South Africa second, although the Proteas will not be able to overhaul the sub-continent side even with a 3-0 series win.
South Africa won the opening Test in Cape Town by 72 runs.
The third Test starts on January 24 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.
