South Africa beat India South Africa won by an innings and 32 runs

Thanks for your business over the last 3 days. Dream it was a little bit longer, however fret not, we’ll see you in the brand-new year. Hope the 2nd Test will be a lot more carefully combated and engaging. Have a fantastic brand-new year. Stay safe, mask up and take pleasure in the celebrations. It’s bye-bye and goodnight from me, Shashank Kishore, on behalf of our team: Deiva Muthu, Chandan Duroah and Thilak Gowda. Cheers

Dean Elgar is the Player of the Match for his 185. “Pretty unique for me, rather simply smile than cry (this is his goodbye series) and delight in the minute. Add to this group is what I’ve constantly wished to do. Hasn’t exercised often, however it did here, huge effort to select 20 wickets. It was a juicy wicket. Got to keep good and easy, batting in Tests you need to streamline things. Concentrate on the ball, play good and straight, play late. Wickets like that, one’s got your name on it, got to ride the wave when it’s in your favour. Great collaborations with Tony, David and Jans. You require quick bowlers and spinner possibly to take 20 wickets, require guys shooting. KG was incredible, and a guy like Nandre simply came forward. Remarkable to see his efficiencies. Actually terrific group efficiency moving forward. Happy to leave here on a high.

Rohit Sharma: Unsatisfactory. Got good runs having actually been put in. KL Rahul batted remarkably, however we stopped working to make use of conditions with the ball. Batting was bad in the 2nd innings, Virat batted remarkably however if you need to win Tests, need to come together jointly. We stopped working to do that. Guys have actually come here before, we comprehend what to get out of the conditions. Every person has his own strategy. Our batters were challenged at various times. We didn’t adjust well. We didn’t bat well both times which is why we stand here. There were some positives. Not a lot when you end up the video game inside 3 days. KL the method he batted, he revealed what you require to do on that sort of pitch. Do not wish to be too crucial on the bowlers, they have not played much here. We’ll regroup and return. It’s crucial to regroup as rapidly as we can, hard from a loss like these however as sportspersons you go through these times. Got to select ourselves up.

5.03 pm An abject surrender by India. If you matured in the 1990s, this need to seem like a correct throwback. Over their last 5 fours in these coasts, India have actually completed tough and won a minimum of one Test. That happy record is on the line here with another to come in Jo’burg next week. India were quickly in it, courtesy KL Rahul’s splendid first-innings hundred however there’s been really little else of note. Lots and great deals of things to mull over and they’ll have 2 additional days to do a de-brief, before getting ready for Newlands.

South Africa have actually been definitely marvelous. SuperSport Park looks like a huge celebration waiting to remove. They’re dancing in the yard banks. Dean Elgar plucks a stump out for posterity. It’s his goodbye series and he’s begun it with a stunning match-winning 185, loaded with pluck and guts. There was a five-for from Rabada, wickets for debutant Nandre Burger and runs for debutant David Bedingham. The only genuine issue – or perhaps it’s not – heading into Cape Town is the physical fitness of Temba Bavuma. Can it be scripted any much better for Elgar to lead his time in his goodbye Test?

Jansen to Kohli, OUT

that’s completion of that! It has actually taken a spectacular catch from Rabada to end this Test. Kohli steps out and plays a horizontal bat shot over the bowler’s head – not rather like the one he played off Haris Rauf in * that * video game, however you get the drift? He does not time it. It requires an exceptional effort from Rabada to even get to the ball. He runs to his left from long-on and after that is on the relocation as he finishes the catch. Astonishing things. Kohli is shell-shocked and India have actually been bundled out in less than 35 overs. The last frontier will need to wait.

Hamburger to Siraj, OUT

Siraj is on the flooring. SA believe Siraj has actually tickled it behind to the keeper. Not provided on the field. SA challenge the on-field not-out choice. Brief and slanting back into Siraj, who averts and takes his eyes off the ball and ducks into this. Ultra Edge spots a spike. The ball brushes the gloves and appears to the keeper
