Milestone
That's it from the one-sided Boxing Day Test from Centurion, South Africa, with a famous win without their regular skipper Temba Bavuma. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
The left-arm pacers (Marco Jansen and Nandre Burger) picked 11 wickets in the match, which is the joint-most in a Test for South Africa, equalling the Cape Town Test against England, which happened 100 years ago in January 1923.
-India's 1st innings defeat under Rohit Sharma
-India's 1st innings defeat since the start of 2015
-India's 1st innings defeat against South Africa since January 2011

Dean Elgar (Player of the Match and South Africa Stand-in Captain): "Pretty special for me. I am gonna cry but I will smile and enjoy the moment. Contributing to this team is the big deal. The guys did really well. Massive effort.
The wicket was quite juicy. You need to simplify everything. The game is very complex when you want to complicate things. You always got one ball with your name written on it. Few good partnerships with Tony, Bedingham and Marco.
You just need your guys to be firing to take 20 wickets. Rabada and Nandre were amazing. Burger is a shining light and lantern of South African cricket. You need to bowl in the right areas to get the reward. I think its one of the most amazing performances from the guys.
Thanks to the crowd for being here. Its been amazing. I am leaving on a very good note here.
Playing in a 2- match series you can't win the series if you don't win the first game. We have won this and know the Indian side quite well. We are very mindful about Cape Town. They are going to bounce back for sure. Going to Cape Town is a big one for us."
