India outclassed South Africa by 87 to win the second Test in Durban, on Wednesday, and bounced back in style after their humiliation in the first Test at Centurion.
The victory also kept India's chances alive in the three-match series, while also giving them another opportunity to notch their first series win in South Africa.
The visitors will be hoping to win only their third Test series after losing the first match, a feat they achieved against England and Australia, at home.
Rajneesh Gupta list details of India's comebacks to win or draw a series after having lost the opening match.
