Nicky Boje (SA): 85 and 5/83, Bengaluru, 2000
In 2000, former spinner Nicky Boje showed his all-round skills in South Africa's innings win over India at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Boje scored a vital 85 off 198 balls, guiding South Africa to 479 in their only innings. India, who perished for 250 despite Mohammad Azharuddin's ton, were stunned by a fifer from Boje (5/83). The latter was the Player of the Match.

Jason Holder (WI): 52 and 5/56, Hyderabad, 2018
It took 18 years for another visiting player to record a 50-plus score and a fifer in a Test on Indian soil. In 2018, West Indies' Jason Holder attained this feat, albeit in a crushing defeat against India in Hyderabad. Holder scored a vital 52 off 92 balls in the first innings before taking 5/56. However, India won by 10 wickets.

He earlier slammed a counter-attacking 93 as the Proteas racked up 489. Jansen raced to his fourth Test half-century, besides recording his career-best score in the format.
