India vs South Africa: 'Bowlers did a fantastic job for us,' Rishabh Pant hails bowling unit after 3rd T20I win

India finally clinched a win against South Africa in the five-match series after beating the visitors by 48 runs in Visakhapatnam. The home side scored 179/5 in 20 overs after batting first and then bundled out South Africa for 131 to clinch the win.

India stand-in captain Rishabh Pant hailed the bowlers for their efforts.

"The execution was spot-on from the bowlers and the batters. We were 15 runs short, but we weren't thinking about that. Bowlers did a fantastic job for us. In India, spinners play a big role and there is pressure on them, when they come off nicely then matches like this happen. When you get a good start, it's difficult for a new batter to come in and go big straightaway. We lost too many wickets. We'll look to improve in the next match. We have to make sure that we finish the game with a bigger margin," he said.

Yuzvendra Chahal was back in form for India after he returned with a three-fer while Harshal Patel was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged four wickets. Earlier, openers Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad chipped in with individual fifties.

India are still alive in the series after this win but trail 1-2.

The 27-year-old Agar had featured in both the limited-over formats for Australia last summer but missed his spot in the ODIs on their tour of England in September. Now set to join his limited-overs teammates on Sunday after completing his engagements at the Sheffield Shield and undergoing a two-week quarantine in Perth, Agar is hoping his experience in the fast few weeks will help him in the upcoming series. "I bowled about 150 overs in three Shield games. I bowled on some wickets that were absolute highways," Agar, who took 10 wickets in three games for Western Australia in October-November, was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au . "Trying to think batsmen out on really good wickets actually holds you in good stead going into an ...
