Team India registered their biggest Test victory over South Africa on Sunday by an innings and 137 runs in Pune.
Riding on skipper Virat Kohli's double ton and Mayank Agarwal century India posted a mammoth total of 601/5 before declaring the innings on Day 2.
In reply, collective effort from Indian bowlers put the Proteas on the mat in the next two days. In the first innings, Ashwin's four-for and comeback man Umesh Yadav picked three wickets to restrict South Africa on just 275. With a lead of 326 runs, skipper Kohli imposed the follow-on against Proteas.
On Day 4, Ravindra Jadeja and Umesh shared three-three wickets each to dismantle South Africa with a day to spare.
With a win, Team India is now leading the World Test Championships chart with 200 points in four matches.
