Twitter Reactions: India beat South Africa’s defense to win the 4th Test

Twitter Reactions: India beat South Africa’s defense to win the 4th Test: It looked likely to end in a draw as the two teams went for Tea on the final day of the 4^th Test at the Firoz Shah Kotla with AB de Villiers and Dean Villas batting unbeaten on 43 and 13. De Villiers had already played more than 300 balls and looked good enough to frustrate the Indian bowlers to draw this match for his team. Umesh Yadav who bowled a great spell of reverse swing bowling, moving the ball considerably, and soon after Vilas played one onto his stumps. Ashwin finally broke AB de Villiers’ resistance and with his wicket the floodgates opened and South Africa lost the last 5 wickets in less than 10 runs and India won the match by 337 runs in no time.

Ravindra Jadeja started the day on a great note for India as he breached through the defense of South African skipper Hashim Amla with a ball that did not spin as much as he expected and held its line to take the top of off-stump. But despite getting Amla out in the first session they had no success thereafter.  Faf du Plessis complemented de Villiers really well to keep the hopes of a draw alive but once Jadeja caught him plumb in front, it exposed the lower order to the hungry Indian bowlers and it was always going to be tougher for them to show such guile.

Ashwin ran through once there was an opening and recorded another 5-wicket haul, the 16^th of his career. This win will definitely give India lot more pleasure than the other two that came in almost one-sided fashion.
