India captain Rishabh Pant hailed the fighting spirit of the side after the hosts came back from two games down to take the five-match series against South Africa into the decider, which was washed out here today.
“It might get a little bit frustrating, but there are a lot of positives, especially the way the whole team showed character after the series was 0-2,” Pant said. “We are trying to find different ways of winning matches, we are trying to play in a new way. Mistakes will happen, but we are going the right way,” he added.
India head coach Rahul Dravid made it clear that the under-fire Pant is a “big” and “integral” part of the set-up heading into the T20 World Cup in Australia. Pant managed only 58 runs in the series. “Personally, he would have liked to score a few more runs but it is not concerning him. Certainly, he is a very big part of our plans going ahead in next few months,” Dravid said.
Medium-pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took six wickets for 85 runs with a best of 4/13, was named the Player of the Series.
