In a match that was marred by a dangerous pitch, India fought all the way to secure their first victory of the tour and keep their record of being unbeaten at the Wanderers. The Twitterati, unsurprisingly, went berserk after the Indian team capped off a memorable overseas test victory.

Brief scores : India 187 (Virat Kohli 54, Cheteshwar Pujara 50; Kagiso Rabada 3/39, Andile Phehlukwayo 2/25) & 247 (Ajinkya Rahane 48, Virat Kohli 41; Morne Morkel 3/47, Vernon Philander 3/61) beat South Africa 194 (Hashim Amla 61, Vernon Philander 35; Jasprit Bumrah 5/54; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3/44) & 177 ( Dean Elgar 86*, Hashim Amla 52; Mohammed Shami 5/28) by 63 runs.Here are the tweets from the game:Oh, what a sight it was!

This would've haunted every Indian fan! 

So rain wasn't the reason behind the delay!

Finally!

Second Innings Shami - can we start calling him that?

Virat Kohli just before he went on a rampage!

The reason behind the lack of wickets in the 1st session!

The beginning of a new era!

Fact!

What football can do to a person! :P
