Temba Bavuma, the victorious skipper is in for a chat. He says it was a good win and he is happy. States he struggled throughout the innings to hit it in the middle and find the gaps but Rassie did really well and he provided the much-needed impetus and he just wanted to hang in there with him. Credits Jansen for the way he bowled and says he is growing as a cricketer. Mentions Markram is always an option for them with the ball and he always comes in handy. Further says Andile was really good, he would have loved to play a bigger part in the game but he understood the situation and he is a big player in the team and he rose to the occasion. Ends by saying the spinners were excellent, they tried to use Shamsi differently and he did really well and he is also pleased to have de Kock back and he is a big player for the team.

KL Rahul, the Indian skipper is in for a chat. He says it was a good game and they love playing in such games, there is a lot to learn. Admits they struggled to get wickets in the middle and they need to work on that. Further adds they were on par with the bat till the 25th over but then South Africa bowled really well. Mentions he did not bat for long so he has no idea about how much the pitch changed but Virat and Dhawan did tell him it was a good wicket to bat on, you just needed to hang in there. Also says when two people from the opposition bat deep, they are bond to post a good score, they needed someone to do that but that was not the case. Ends by saying they did feel in the break they gave away 30 runs extra but had they got a few more partnerships, they could have gotten over the line and they will learn from this.
