India beat South Africa by 108 runs in the first Test on Saturday as the home side took a 1-0 lead in the four-match series after wrapping up victory with more than two days to spare.
Virat Kohli's men have brought some cheer around after losing the T20 and ODI series.
Chasing a victory target of 218 in a contest dominated by spin bowling, South Africa succumbed to their second successive batting collapse and were dismissed for just 109 with Stiaan van Zyl top-scoring on 36.
For India, who were bowled out for 200 in their second innings earlier in the day, spin duo Ravindra Jadeja (5-21) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3-39) shared eight wickets in a South African second innings that lasted less than 40 overs.
The spinners clicked for India just like they did in the last two Tests at the same venue, winning against Australia (in 2010 and 2013).
India have played 11 Tests played at Mohali, winning five, drawing five and losing just one, making the PCA stadium, one of their perfect hunting grounds.
