5 most memorable Tests between India and South Africa

#4 South Africa vs India, Johannesburg 2006

It took 15 years and 3 winless tours for India to finally register their first win on South African soil. The Rahul Dravid-led team defeated South Africa by 123 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

The match marked the comeback of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, who played a crucial innings of 51, pushing India's total to 249. Then, Sreesanth (5/40) bowled one of the best spells ever by an Indian bowler overseas to knock over South Africa for 84. India, with the help of VVS Laxman (73) could only manage 236 in the second innings leaving South Africa 401 runs to win.

A valiant effort by Ashwell Prince (97) in the second innings was not enough as South Africa capitulated against the duo of Zaheer and Sreesanth who claimed three wickets each to hand India one of their most famous win overseas.

India 249 (Sourav Ganguly 51, Shaun Pollock 4/39) & 236 (VVS Laxman 73, Pollock 3/33) beat South Africa 84 (Ashwell Prince 24, Sreesanth 5/40) & 278 (Ashwell Prince 97, Anil Kumble 3/54) by 123 runs.
