In the first match of their 1996-97 tour to South Africa, the Indian team found the fast track at the Kingsmead and the pace of White Lightning Allan Donald too hot to handle.

After restricting the Proteas to 238, the Indian team merely managed three figures as the 16 extras helped them score exactly 100. Sourav Ganguly, who also managed 16, was the top scoring batsman as seven of them could not even enter into double digits.

The second innings was no better for the inept Indian batsmen, all of whom could only manage 66 this time, including 5 extras. Rahul Dravid's 27* was the only double-digit score as the match ended within three days.
