New Delhi [India], November 16 (ANI): Former South African cricketers AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and Dale Steyn expressed delight after South Africa's historic Test win over India at Eden Gardens in the first match of the ongoing series. On the other hand, England legend Kevin Pietersen attributed the batting collapses by both teams to the "modern day game."

South Africa claimed their first Test victory on Indian soil since 2010, defeating the hosts by 30 runs in the opening match of the two-Test series on Sunday. The match concluded on the third day as India failed to reach the 124-run target set by South Africa on a pitch where the highest individual score in the entire match was just 55, by Temba Bavuma.
