India registered a historic win by defeating South Africa by 113 runs on the fifth and final day at Centurion’s SuperSport Park on Thursday, December 30. After the Centurion Fort was torn down, the action shifted to The Wanderers Stadium in what is now Johannesburg. The iconic stadium will host the second Test from January 3-7.
It was their fourth win over the hosts and the visitors took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. They needed just three wickets to finish the game on the last day of the first Test. Spin ace Ravichandran Ashwin picked up two wickets after Mohammed Shami dismissed Marco Jensen, so the visiting team did so with ease.
