After narrowly losing the Test series, India failed to finish their South Africa tour on a high as they also lost all three ODIs against the Proteas. South Africa won the first two ODIs at Paarl to clean sweep the Indian team after a narrow four-run victory in the third ODI at Newlands, Cape Town. With this win, South Africa registered their 25th win over India in ODIs, their joint-most over a visiting team. The Proteas have now won 25 ODIs against India and Australia.
While India have lost 25 of their 37 ODIs (67.57 per cent) in South Africa, Australia have lost the same number of matches out of a total of 46 matches (54.35 per cent).
Also, this was the fifth incident when India were whitewashed for the second time in an ODI series with at least three matches against South Africa.
As far as South Africa are concerned, the Proteas have now registered the joint-most whitewash in an ODI series with at least three matches.
South Africa and Pakistan have completed 20-20 ODI series whitewash.
The Indian team will now aim to make a comeback during the upcoming white-ball series against West Indies at home.
The Windies will be in India from February 6-20 to play three ODIs and as many T20Is.

While the ODI series will be played in Ahmedabad, the T20 matches will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
South Africa will also tour India later this year to play five T20Is.
