It was bittersweet to watch India defeat South Africa in their historic first-ever Test match at Newlands in Cape Town. India took back the top spot in the World Test Champions points table with their seven-wicket victory in four and a half sessions, which happened in the shortest-ever Test match in terms of balls bowled. They had lost the Boxing Day Test by an innings and thirty-two runs, and had fallen to sixth place from first place. However, they were unable to maintain their top Test ranking despite their drawn Test series against South Africa.
