South Africa's 220-run win against Bangladesh at Kingsmead on Monday was important on so many levels, especially for Proteas skipper Dean Elgar, who won his first Test at the ground in five attempts.
Bangladesh lost the 1st Test of the two-match series against South Africa by 220 runs on Monday after Keshav Maharaj took seven wickets in the fourth and final innings. The visitors were bundled out for 53 and as a result, the Proteas gained a massive victory. However, the attention has been taken away from Maharaj's performance and Bangladesh fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment after some on-field calls went against them in South Africa's second innings.
Proteas Test skipper Dean Elgar said he was going to play two spinners in the first Test against Bangladesh regardless of the availability of his Indian Premier League contingent.
Bangladesh called for the return of neutral umpires in international cricket after claiming "inconsistent" decisions put them at a disadvantage in the first Test against South Africa in Durban.
With Ross Taylor's international cricket career finally coming to an end, Sachin Tendulkar led reactions on social media to pay tribute to the New Zealand batter. Taylor's last outing in the Kiwi jersey was on Monday against Netherlands at Seddon Park in an ODI game and he was dismissed for 14. Taking to Twitter, the legendary Indian cricketer wrote, "You've been a great ambassador of the game Ross! It was wonderful playing against you. The way you reinvented yourself over the years to adapt is an inspiration for all the young kids aspiring to be cricketers."
South Africa captain Dean Elgar said that the victory against Bangladesh in the 1st Test was 'pretty special' and added that it was a hard-fought win after Proteas defeated Bangladesh with massive 220-runs in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series here at Kingsmead, Durban on Monday. Bangladesh were bowled out for just 53 runs in the second innings, their second-lowest total in Test history. Keshav Maharaj finished the match with figures of 7/32 in 10 overs. Simon Harmer picked up the other three wickets as the Proteas finished with an opening Test match win.
Keshav Maharaj's vivid intensity as he bowled the Proteas to a first Test win at Kingsmead since 2013 wasn't pent-up frustration, merely just a "hunger and desire to win a game for your country".
