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.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
