India vs South Africa player ratings: Simon Harmer and Marco Jansen have laid bare the tattered fabric of India’s batting in Tests. As the hosts have suffered another home series whitewash, here's how the players have fared…

Yashasvi Jaiswal: Two matches, 83 runs at 20.75. In the first innings in Guwahati, he flattered to deceive. Rating — 4/10

KL Rahul: Two matches, 68 runs at 17. Failed to lead India's batting in Shubman Gill's absence. Rating — 4/10.

Washington Sundar: Two matches, 124 runs at 31; one wicket. Deserves a settled batting position. Rating — 6/10

Sai Sudharsan: One match, 29 runs at 14.50. Can't be India's No. 3 going ahead. Rating — 3/10.

Rishabh Pant: Two matches, 49 runs at 12.25; Ct - 4, St - 1. He continues to play to the gallery irrespective of the situations. Rating — 3/10.

Nitish Kumar Reddy: One match, 10 runs at 5. Probably has played his last Test. Rating — 1/10.
