The celebrations here are supercharged from the Indians and you would only expect that. Barely anyone gave them a chance before the Test series began and they have pulled off a stunning win. This has been an unbelievable performance from India in many ways and it will take some time for the size of the achievement to sink in.
Sajan Nair, my fellow commentator for this match, just says, "Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties. Nothing is certain in cricket as in life. How many times have we heard these lines being repeated but it is moments like this that make this game what it is. After a forgettable one day series, Team India have emerged from the ashes like a phoenix and they have turned this series upside down."
Well Sajan, the next game is a week away and India will be keen to keep up the good work. There will no doubt be celebrations long into the night, and they will be richly deserved. There are hugs all around in the Indian camp and players pick up souvenir stumps to cherish this memorable win.
South Africa have had their fair share of problems in this match, with bat and ball and they have a week to see how well they can bounce back.

Sreesanth, with his eight wickets, is my Man of the Match, but you'd have to say that Sourav Ganguly, who contributed crucial runs in the first innings, and VVS Laxman, also played sterling parts, as did Zaheer Khan and Anil Kumble.
For the moment, though, this Anand Vasu, your commentator, signing off. We'll be back with the official post-match presentations and the Man of the Match award as and when the news comes in.
The last bit of news from this Test match is, as expected, that Sreesanth won the Man of the Match award for his brilliant performance with the ball
