Test series
First Test
The Test was India's first after the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar. After opting to bat, India posted 280 runs in the first innings. In return, South Africa made 244. India in their second innings went on to score 421 runs with Cheteshwar Pujara scoring 153 and Virat Kohli making 96, falling four runs short of becoming the first Indian no.4 to hit centuries in both innings of a test match. Their 222-run stand is the highest for India in South Africa in tests. Chasing a target of 458 runs,[4] South Africa ended up with 450 runs for the loss of seven wickets, leading to a draw.[4] The team's total of 450, is the second-highest fourth-innings score to draw a match and third overall.[4] Francois du Plessis and AB de Villiers made centuries in the South Africa total. Described as one among the "closest draws", the fourth innings total of 450 made by South Africa is the second-highest by a team in a drawn match and third overall. During the match, wicket-keepers from both the teams bowled, making it the first time to happen in the history of Test cricket.[5][6][7] Described as one of the "Closest draws",[4] the match saw a few players from both sides achieving significant milestones in their careers – India's Zaheer Khan became the fourth Indian to capture 300 wickets in Test cricket.[8] Vernon Philander playing in his 19th Test match, became the fastest bowler to take 100 wickets for South Africa.[9] The Test also marked the eighth occasion where Indian spinners failed to pick up a single wicket.[10][11]
