Even with a superb batting line up, India were bowled out for 198 runs in the decider match 2nd innings with South Africa.
Rishabh Pant was the saving grace with 100 runs!. Rabada, Ngidi and Jansen made batting hellish for Indian batters.
At 101 for 2 and just 111 more needed, South Africa has an upper hand in this test match.
Now, it looks as if South Africa would still remain the unconquered test territory for India - tougher than even Australia!

And we know that India lost the series and the skipper resigned soon after the result. Hopefully things are settled soon in Indian team and players get adjusted to the new changes. We hope that we get to see good winning performances by the team in coming times.

Still a lot of ground to be covered as India lost the first ODI by 31 runs.

Somehow it looks kind of similar to early 2012.
Then Indian team was in a similar unsettled situation, although it is not as bad.

Yes and in any case, teams do go through transitions but after watching the 3rd ODI, I felt that the Indian team let a well gripped match slip through!!
