Crazy even

World Test Champions: Members of the cricket fraternity have reacted to South Africa’s remarkable 30-run win over India at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens as the visitors secured a 1-0 lead in the two-game series on Sunday, calling it a "sensational and crazy victory" for the Proteas.

The two sides reached a result on just the third day of the Test, as the bowlers dominated the proceedings throughout the eight sessions. On what was a difficult pitch to bat on, the Proteas put on a terrific fight, both with bat and ball, and proved why they were the reigning World Test Champions.

Several ex-cricketers shared their thoughts on X after the Temba Bavuma-led side claimed their first win in India in 15 years. Reacting to the win, former South African legend AB de Villiers wrote, “Crazy good win that! Well done Proteas. I’m speechless.”
