5 most memorable Tests between India and South Africa

#1 South Africa Vs India, Johannesburg 2013

It was the first Test match that India was playing in the post-Tendulkar era. Amidst all the euphoria and emotions around Sachin Tendulkar's farewell, India was up against a rampaging Dale Steyn on a green Wanderers pitch.

Virat Kohli in his first innings at No.4 did not let India miss Tendulkar much with a dominant 119 on the first day pushing India's total to 280. Zaheer and Ishant led the charge for India South Africa's first innings taking four a piece limiting South Africa to 244 all out.

In the second Innings, Pujara (153) and Kohli (96) helped India set South Africa an improbable 458 runs to win. When Jacques Kallis got out with South Africa precariously placed at 4/197, an Indian win looked imminent.

However, Faf du Plessis(134) and AB de Villiers' (105) marathon partnership of 205 helped regroup South Africa. India began to panic, and MS Dhoni in his 50th Test match as India's captain ran out of options.

With de Villiers chopping on to Ishant and a visibly exhausted du Plessis run out, 16 runs adrift of the target and Morne Morkel not available to bat Steyn and Philander decided to shut shop and played out a draw much to the boos from the crowd. It was a tame end to what was one the most gut-wrenching game in recent times.

India 280 (Virat Kohli 119, Vernon Philander 4/61) & 421 (Cheteshwar Pujara 153, Vernon Philander 3/68) drew with South Africa 244 (Graeme Smith 59, Zaheer Khan 4/88) & 450/7 ( Faf du Plessis 135, Mohammed Shami 3/107).
