New Delhi: India wrapped the South Africa second innings on 191 and won the opening Test in Centurion by 113 runs. With this the visitors go 1-0 up in the three-match series.

South Africa finished the fourth day at 94/4 with skipper Dean Elgar unbeaten on 52 after Indian batters caved in on a track with uneven bounce, getting all out for 174 in just 50.3 overs.

“Congratulations to #TeamIndia on a fabulous victory at Centurion despite a day being washed out due to rain.

2021 has been a phenomenal year with many famous away Test wins in Brisbane, Lord’s, and The Oval,” said Jay Shah secretary BCCI.
