India vs South Africa: Fourth Test - Five Talking Points

India moved into second place in the ICC Test rankings after they sealed a 3-0 series win over South Africa on day five of the Delhi Test. Despite struggling to breach the resolute Proteas batsmen for long periods, India's bowlers did enough to complete their biggest Test win in terms of runs.After winning the toss and choosing to bat, India managed 334. In response, the Proteas were bundled out for 121 in the first innings. Already leading by 213, India added a further 267, to set the visitors a challenging 481 to win, with littler over five sessions to play. But despite holding out for more than four sessions, the Proteas were bowled out for 143 in 143.1 overs.Here are the major talking points from the match.

#1 Rahane delivers in Delhi

Rahane was the only centurion in the series

Few doubted Ajinkya Rahane's talent. Fewer still thought that his run of poor scores in India would go on for too much longer. But not many expected him to end it in such sublime fashion.

Becoming only the fifth Indian to score a hundred in each innings of a Test would have made headlines on any day, but the fact that no batsman had scored a hundred in the Test series made that century taste that much sweeter.

Having been the backbone of India's batting in overseas tour, Rahane didn't have too much to prove, even if his run of scores in the series was worrying. But, then again, this was a series dominated by the ball, not the bat. But he once again stepped up, when it mattered most and his twin hundreds set the stage for the bowlers to bowl India to a 3-0 win.

For someone who was supposedly out of form, ending the series as the leading run scorer, only centurion and the highest average (53.2) is not bad at all.
