IND vs SA 1st Test Day 5 Highlights: India Beat South Africa By 113 Runs, Take 1-0 Lead In Three-Match Series

India lead 1-0 against South Africa in three-match Test series.

Indian captain Virat Kohli has said that pacer Mohammed Shami is the current among the best three seamers in the world at the moment. He has also lauded Indian openers for the way they batted on Day 1 in challenging conditions.

"Got off to the perfect start. Have to understand one day was washed out - shows how well we played. It's always a difficult place to play against SA (Centurion). The discipline that the batters showed. Winning the toss, batting first overseas is a tough challenge. Credit to Mayank and KL the way they set it up. We knew we were in pole position with anything over 300-320. Knew the bowlers will do the job. Spoke about it in the change room - the fact he didn't bowl much in the first innings, it allowed SA to get around 40 more runs (Bumrah). Just the way these guys bowl together has been a hallmark of our team getting a result in difficult situations. Absolutely world class talent (Shami). For me he's in the best three seamers in the world at the moment. His strong wrist, his seam position and his ability to hit a length consistently. Got so much confidence out of Johannesburg last time. It's a ground we love playing at," said Indian skipper Virat Kohli at post-match presentation as quoted by Cricbuzz.

South Africa captain Dean Elgar has said his team's batters let the team down in the first Test. He also lauded South Africa pacers for the way they came back in the Test after a poor Day 1.

By 123 runs in Johannesburg, 2006/07

By 87 runs in Durban, 2010/11

By 63 runs in Johannesburg, 2017/18

By 113 runs in Centurion, 2021/22

India are the first Asian team to win a Test match in Centurion.

Ashwin to Ngidi, OUT!! Caught by Pujara. That's it! India win the first Test match by 113 runs. Ashwin has two wickets to his name in the end. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami picked three wickets each while Mohammed Siraj got two. It was a good fight from South Africa captain Dean Elgar but the lone warrior was not enough for the hosts to save the game.

Two more Tests remaining in the series -- the second match will start from January 3 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, followed by the third one at Newlands in Cape Town.

India need three wickets to win while South Africa are 123 runs away from the target. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled exceptionally well in the second innings and this was the venue where he took his first five-wicket haul in 2018 on his debut series.
