India rejoice their long-time-no-see victory

Dravid's men celebrated their best ever Test victory over South Africa in the first Test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Monday. 

It was an outstanding turn by the Indians who had been on the run of 4-0 in the earlier one-day series against the Proteas. They had also failed to make the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy last month.

Indian cricket board vice president Shashank Manohar who had suggested they should be given a slashed pay for the poor show in the one-dayers recommended a bonus for the players. 

The former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar requested the players not to get carried away as they have two more tests to be played.

"Christmas comes early" said the front-page of The Times of India and the headline of Hindustan Times said "Champagne comeback" on this stunning victory.

The second Test is on December 26 in Durban followed by the third in Cape Town from January 2.
