Ravindra Jadeja was undoubtedly the star of the match for India, with his sensational performances in both the innings. In the first innings, he batted sensibly and made a handy contribution of 38. From the bowling front, Jadeja simply decimated the Proteas with his accurate bowling and guile. He took three crucial wickets in the first innings and followed it up with a five-fer in the second innings. He was rightly named the Man of the Match.
Twitter paid rich tributes to Jadeja and below are some of the tweets:
