Reason Behind India's Victory in Test Series against South Africa


The one of the main reason behind India's Victory in Test Series against South Africa is that the Indian team looked very settled in Test cricket after Rohit's contribution along with Mayank Agarwal as opener and gave a stability to the team which is lacking in the past series and along with the top order the middle order batsmen provided a good balance to the team. Not only the batting lineup but also the bowling attack with Shami, Ishant, Umesh looked magnificent and didn't allow any batsman to bat flawlessly against this pace attack. And rest of the remaining work was done by Ashwin and Jadeja which helped the team India to get a historic victory against South Africa.
