The last tours of South Africa’s men’s cricket team to India were in September–October 2022 for a limited-overs series and in March 2020 for a disrupted ODI series.

This tour featured three T20Is and three ODIs:

T20I Series: India won the series 2–1, taking the first two matches before South Africa claimed the third.

ODI Series: India also won 2–1 in the ODIs. South Africa won the opening match, but India bounced back to win the next two and secure the series.

This tour included a Test series and an ODI series:

Test Series (late 2019): India dominated the three-match Test series with a 3–0 whitewash, including two wins by an innings margin.

T20I Series (late 2019): The three-match T20I series ended 1–1, as the first game was washed out due to rain.

ODI Series (March 2020): The ODI series was cancelled after the first match because of the COVID-19 outbreak. The first match was abandoned due to rain, and the remaining two were called off.
