Reigning World Test Champions South Africa scripted a remarkable comeback. They clinched a magnificent victory here at Eden Gardens on Sunday to go one up in the two-game Test series. The five-day match concluded on just the third day as the visitors made the most of the rank turner presented to them.

"This is exactly the pitch we were looking for. I feel the curator was very helpful, and this is exactly what we wanted and exactly what we got. When you don't play well, this is what happens," Gambhir said at the post-match press conference.
