A 5-wicket haul for Mohammed Shami and four wickets for Ravindra Jadeja on Day 5 helped India register a comfortable 203-run win over South Africa in the first Test. Virat Kohli's team now leads the three-match series 1-0. It was a match that India dominated from the start with Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal setting the stage with the brilliant batting performances in the first innings. Centuries from Dean Elgar and Quinton de Kock proved to be a minor blip as India coasted home on the final day of the Test. Rohit Sharma hit twin centuries in his first match as Test opener while Mayank Agarwal converted his maiden century into a double hundred. Ravichandran Ashwin picked up his 27th 5-wicket haul while also becoming the joint-fastest bowler to claim 350 Test scalps. South Africa will be looking for a better performance come the second Test match in Pune which begins on October 10.  (SCORECARD)
