India's Shikhar Dhawan has been reported for a suspect bowling action in the 337-run win in the fourth Test against South Africa.

The 30-year-old, who has bowled just 54 balls in his 19 Tests, sent down three overs of off-spin in South Africa's second innings as the Proteas failed to block their way to a draw.

And he will now undergo tests over his action after the match officials' report cited concerns over its legality.

'Dhawan's bowling action will now be scrutinised further under the ICC process relating to suspected illegal bowling actions reported in Tests, ODIs and T20Is,' read a statement from the ICC.

'He is required to undergo testing within 14 days, and, during this period, Dhawan is permitted to continue bowling in international cricket until the results of the testing are known.'  

Dhawan was the fifth of eight bowlers used in South Africa's second innings at Delhi, and the most expensive with his three overs going for three runs apiece. 

India went on to win the fourth Test by 337 runs to wrap up an impressive 3-0 series win over the world's No 1-ranked side. 

Dhawan, India's opening batsman, has bowled only 54 deliveries of his part-time off-spin in his 19 Tests
