I think India did pretty well on the tour all things considered, but disappointed with their batting in this match, particularly lower down the order, really thought they could hang on for a draw. Rohit Sharma has been pretty poor in SA on the whole, but I am hopeful he will come out a much better player for it and think he should be given a few more chances yet given his talent. Dhawan also fared poorly, and I am sure he will also benefit in the medium to long term.
Rahane did brilliantly, and am very pleased, ran out of partners in both innings. This should cement his spot in the test side. Pujara is a class act and looks to be the foundation for the batting lineup along with Kohli. I think the bowling was disappointing and still remains a weak point.
SA played well and deserved their victory, salute to King Kallis and also to Dale Steyn on getting his 350th wickets -second quickest of all time, and already an all time great. The Aussie vs SA series is going to be fantastic and am looking forward to it.
