Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel were the wicket takers but R Ashwin and Axar Patel also bowled well.

Deepak Chahar started the downfall with the wicket of Temba Bavuma before Arshdeep Singh removed Quinton De Kock, Rilee Rossouw and David Miller in quick succession. Chahar returned to remove Tristan Stubbs to leave South Africa reeling.

Rohit Sharma-led India will be high on confidence after winning their previous series against Australia 2-1. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, all performed well in the series. However, the team will be concerned about their bowlers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Harshal Patel, who have looked ordinary. Jasprit Bumrah played two games in the series and looked a bit rusty. This is the final opportunity for India to fix their jigsaw before the T20 World Cup.

South Africa is a tough team to face and India will be wary of the threat they pose. With players like David Miller, Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, they will test India to the core. A win against South Africa will be a big boost for the Men in Blue ahead of the mega event in Australia.
