THE Proteas have recorded a memorable first victory at India's citadel of cricket since 1996. Independent Media's Zaahier Adams looks at five great come-from-behind Test victories by the Proteas over the years.

Second Test | Sydney | January 2-6, 1994 South Africa: 169 & 239; Australia: 292 & 111
South Africa won by five runs
After the great Shane Warne dismantled the Proteas with seven first innings wickets, the visitors trailed by 123 runs in the first innings. A courageous 79 not out from Jonty Rhodes in the second innings helped set the Aussies a paltry 117-run target. This set the stage for Fanie de Villiers to produce a heroic bowling effort of 6/43 to drive the Proteas to a miraculous five-run win.
Second Test | Melbourne | December 26-30, 2008
Australia: 394 & 247; South Africa: 459 & 183/1
South Africa won by nine wickets
