The first Test between South Africa and India in 2013 at the Wanderers was a humdinger.

India dominated the first four days of the match, setting the Proteas a target of 458.

On the final day, the hosts went for the target in stupendous fashion with Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers carving superb centuries. The two took the team past the 400-run mark but were dismissed at critical points.

South Africa needed 16 to win off the final 19 deliveries with three wickets in hand but fell short by eight runs as tailenders Vernon Philander and Dale Steyn fought valiantly. It would have been the highest successful chase in Test history.
