6 instances over the last decade when more than 20 wickets fell in a single day of a Test

#3 India vs South Africa, 3rd Test, Nagpur, 2015

India trounced South Africa on a spinning wicket in Nagpur

This was a series which was put under extreme scrutiny for the nature of pitches and for the prodigious turn on offer. South African batsmen were all at sea throughout the series and were spun out on all occasions. It also ended a 9-year unbeaten streak for South Africa on foreign soil.

The 3rd match of the series was played in Nagpur on a vicious turner. India won the toss and batted first and scored 215 runs. South Africa lost 2 wickets by the end of Day 1, and it looked as if it would be another struggle for the hosts.

The predictions were proved right when the Proteas were spun out for a paltry 79 runs. In response, India too were knocked over for just 173 runs. However, a target of 310 was always going to be a tough one for the visitors on a pitch which was spinning and bouncing all over the place.

By the end of the day's play, South Africa had already lost 2 wickets for just 32 runs. The sorry story continued the next day too and they were bundled out for 185 runs and handed India a 124-run victory.
