South Africa’s best Test match bowling figures against India?

Question

Which South Africa player has the best Test match bowling figures against India? Dale Steyn’s 10 wickets in Nagpur must put him somewhere close to the mark?

Answer 1

Steyn is not too far away, but the record (12-139) belongs to Allan Donald. Steyn’s match figures in Nagpur of 10-118 put him in second place, ahead of Shaun Pollock who took 10-147 for the match in 2001.
