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!

Can Elgar produce a Laxman Mohali 2010 knock here? #SAvIND

So rain wasn't the reason behind the delay!

SA v IND will have a delayed start after Kedar Jadhav got sold for over 7 crores. Players are protesting. #IPLAuction

Second Innings Shami - can we start calling him that?

Mohammad Shami in this series:

1st inns - 3 wkts at ave 50.33

2nd inns - 10 wkts at 9.90

Huge difference! #SAvInd

Mohammed Shami is the VVS Laxman with the ball. Somehow is a different bowler in the second inning #SAvIND

Virat Kohli just before he went on a rampage!

Guys! What Kohli actually said - "Shami ko khelenge toh inki gand phat jayegi" #SAvIND

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

Seems Bowlers Focus Was On #IPLAuction During The Day. Now That It's Over They're Back On Track. 💪🙏🇮🇳 #INDvSA #SAvIND

What football can do to a person! :P

SA in India= 3-0 to India

India in SA= 2-1 to SA

Aggregate= 4-2 to India

India the better Test team over two legs.
