The innings defeat in Centurion for India against South Africa ensured that the final frontier still remains unconquered. India will not be able to secure a series victory even if they win the next match hence maintaining the streak of not winning a test series in South Africa for 4 decades.
The South African Coach Shukri Conard was elated at the result. “This win was massive for us and what makes it bigger is that it makes sure India have never beaten us in a Test series here. We know what a quality side India is, but we also know what we are. We are a brilliant team at home and we have really gelled as a unit. A lot of the time that has been about freeing the guys up, allowing them to be the best versions of themselves. People have questioned whether South Africa still produces good players and we have shown that we do. Sometimes I think we are too humble, raving about overseas players and not realising what we have. These guys are absolutely phenomenal. And we have put succession plans in place. You need a bit of luck and things will fall into place,” he said.
Rohit Sharma talked about inexperience, lack of adaptability and mental unpreparedness in light of the disappointing loss.
