Rassie van der Dussen is the Player of the Match. "I knew I had to get my sweeps and reverse sweeps quite early on because we couldn't let them settle. Two high pressure run chases in the Tests meant we were quite confident as a unit. All in all, a good day for the batters." And that's it from us here today. Thanks so much for joining us, and see you again soon!

"We played close to the perfect game," Temba Bavuma says. "Throughout my innings, I struggled to get the ball out of the middle and hit the ball in the gaps. Rassie though seemed to be batting on a different wicket. I think that partnership was quite key for us."

"There's so much to learn, KL Rahul says. "We started really well and couldn't get wickets in the middle. I didn't bat after the 20th over so I don't know if the pitch changed, but Virat and Shikhar said it was a good wicket to bat on once you were set. Unfortunately we couldn't get those partnerships in the middle."

They judged the conditions perfectly when setting a target, and once that second wicket partnership between Dhawan and Kohli was broken, India crumbled
