India registered their fourth Test win overall on South African soil after they won the first Test match by 113 runs on Thursday (December 30). The Virat Kohli-led side has now taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series against South Africa.

Dale Steyn, the ex-South African fast bowler, has praised the Indian cricket team for their victory. He congratulated the team and admitted that the current Indian Test side is a world-class team.

"Well done India. Over the last few tours to SA they’ve been more and more impressive. Winning away from home is what makes a world class team, that’s what they currently doing. Congratulations," he tweeted in admiration of the Indian team.

South Africa were chasing a target of 305 runs in the first Test when India bowled them out on 191 runs. A day in the Test match was lost due to rain, but Indian bowlers still ensured they produce a result by getting South Africa out cheaply in both innings.

On Day 5, South Africa started their innings with an overnight score of 94/4. Skipper Dean Elgar was soon dismissed on 77 runs, and then it was a matter of time before the Indian bowlers dismantled South Africa's batting line-up.
