India's baptism with fire

On a snakepit masquerading as the Wanderers' pitch, it was Kohli's team's baptism with the fire that helped India script a memorable Test win.

Vijay (25) showed a glimpse of his former self by leaving a lot of balls outside the off stump, something we have seldom witnessed this series. Vijay (25) showed a glimpse of his former self by leaving a lot of balls outside the off stump, something we have seldom witnessed this series

But Rahane (48) came out to bat after lunch as if to show what India has been missing throughout the series.

On a pitch where survival was endangered Rahane's counter-attack peg, South Africa, back considerably as India's vice-captain helped the visitors post 247 in the second innings.

South Africa had themselves, not the pitch, to blame for bowling too short and too wide in the afternoon session mainly and underestimating India's batting resolve.

However, the stubborn resistance offered by Hashim Amla (52) and Dean Elgar (86) offered the home side a glimmer of hope but Mohammed Shami's spell of 5-28 helped India overcome the odds and inflict an astounding collapse as eight South African wickets fell for 46 runs.

Result:- India won by 63 runs
