The fourth T20I of the series was called off on Wednesday without a ball being bowled due to heavy fog in Lucknow. This delay means the series\u2019 outcome will be decided in the final game, scheduled for Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Steyn reflected on the hosts\u2019 outings and South Africa\u2019s overall tour of India, praising their performances across formats while also highlighting moments when they narrowly missed opportunities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s been a great series, and South Africa have probably exceeded expectations. Winning the Test series was outstanding, and they were very competitive in the ODIs. They might feel they let the first ODI slip after winning the toss and losing early wickets while chasing. Had they won that, they could have finished the ODI series 2\u20131. That said, out of the three T20Is so far, India have been the better team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"They bowled South Africa out cheaply in one game, conceded runs in another, but then dominated again in Dharamshala. If India win the series, I would say well played \u2014 they would deserve it. But I\u2019m hoping South Africa turn it around. They\u2019ve had a wonderful tour,\u201d Steyn said on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India\u2019s consistency in key moments, particularly with the ball, has helped them stay ahead in the shortest format, while South Africa have shown flashes of brilliance but have not been able to sustain momentum across matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Steyn also shared his admiration for India\u2019s young batting stars, singling out Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma for their contrasting yet impactful styles, saying, \u201cI remember Shubman Gill scoring heavily against SRH when I was the bowling coach there. He played beautifully. Even when you\u2019re on the losing side, you enjoy watching someone like him bat. He makes it look very easy \u2014 elegant and pleasing on the eye.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With the fourth match washed out, both teams will shift their focus to the series decider, where India aim to affirm their dominance in the T20Is and South Africa seek to end a memorable tour on a high.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
