It began in November 1992 at Kingsmead, on India's first tour of South Africa and South Africa's first home series after readmission. Conditions have governed it ever since, more than in almost any other Test fixture. India have won the overwhelming majority of the Tests played on their own turning pitches; South Africa the overwhelming majority of those played on their quick ones. India did not win a Test in South Africa until 2006 and have still never won a series there.

The scoring records are all Indian and all at home - 643 for 6 declared at Kolkata in 2010, 627 at Chennai in 2008 - while South Africa's 620 for 4 declared at Centurion in the same year is their best. The collapses go both ways and go far. India 66 all out at Durban in 1996; South Africa 55 at Newlands in January 2024, in a Test India won by seven wickets inside two days, the shortest completed Test in history by balls bowled.

India's most recent home series against them, in November 2025, went badly wrong. South Africa won at Kolkata by 30 runs in a match where nobody passed 200, then took Guwahati by 408 runs after declaring twice - their biggest win over India, and India's heaviest home defeat by runs.
