#3 3rd Test vs South Africa, 2018, Johannesburg

Coming to Johannesburg for the third and final Test, having already lost the Test series the Indian team was playing for pride. Even though the match was a dead rubber, it wasn't played like one. Both the teams played with a lot of intention which resulted in a fantastic Test match. Despite Kohli's fighting half-century India could manage to score only 187 runs in the first innings.
However, Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly and restricted the hosts to 194 runs. In the second innings, after a minor collapse, the comeback men, Rahane and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, snitched a crucial partnership taking India to a score of 247 runs. Despite Elgar and Amla's gritty knocks, the Proteas failed to reach the target and India won the Test by 63 runs.
