We Did Not Capitalise As A Team, Which Cost Us The Series: Pant
Rishabh Pant: India stand-in captain Rishabh Pant admitted his side had been thoroughly outplayed by South Africa after crashing to a 408-run loss and a 2-0 series loss, saying the side did not "capitalise as a team", which "cost us the series".
On day five, led by Simon Harmer’s 6-37, South Africa bowled out India for 140 and hand the hosts their biggest ever defeat in runs in Tests. This is South Africa’s second Test series win in India after their 2-0 sweep in February-March 2000 under Hansie Cronje.
“It's little disappointing. As a team we need to get batter. Credit to the opposition for playing better than us. They dominated the series but at the time you can't take cricket for granted. We're playing at home and sometimes we were up in the game but we didn't capitalise on them,” Pant said to broadcasters at the end of the game.
