Player of the Match : Virat Kohli (India)

1st Test Match :

What a match? Great character shown by Team India. They defended a match which seemed to be lost at the moment. This team is full of potential and will play great matches in future. Great captaincy by skipper Dhoni in saving shami for last and letting him get some rest before final onslaught. The way he defended last 4 overs was superb.

At the start of the fifth day, South Africa needed 320 with eight wickets in hand, and a draw was their more realistic goal. But, Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers partnership of 205 and turned the game to draw. Excellent game played by team India. Hard luck to SA they also fought really well. They also deserved to win. There were no losers in the match. This match showed why these two teams are top on the test teams ladder.
