The visitors were bowled out for 117 in 20 overs as the Men in Blue set themselves an easy target. The Indian bowlers were in the limelight as they dismantled the Proteas\u2019 batting unit and dominated the proceedings throughout the game, even with the bat in the second innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking to JioStar, Steyn expressed concern over the Aiden Markram-led team\u2019s consistency, saying,<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe combination South Africa are trying to mix up is never quite the same every game, and I\u2019m not sure what exactly they\u2019re looking for. It creates insecurity among the batters because they don\u2019t know where they\u2019re batting or what their role is.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"David Miller batted superbly in the last game to guide South Africa past 200 along with Donovan Ferreira, and then in a game like this\u2014at a ground where Miller has played the most, he\u2019s sitting on the bench. I\u2019m not understanding what South Africa is trying to do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"If they\u2019re saying they\u2019re just experimenting, it almost sounds like they don\u2019t care whether they win the series or not. There needs to be stability in selection. Continuous changes over time make it very difficult for the team to consistently perform,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With Jasprit Bumrah being unavailable for the game due to personal reasons, Harshit Rana completed the pace-bowling attack and impressed by picking up a couple of wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"If they\u2019re saying they\u2019re just experimenting, it almost sounds like they don\u2019t care whether they win the series or not.
