Before speaking, Rohit Sharma shared a signed team jersey with Dean Elgar, as both posed along to share the momentous gesture. And right after speaking, both pose with the trophy for levelling the series 1-1.

Rohit Sharma: A great feet. In Centurion, we had to learn from the mistakes. We came back very well, especially our bowlers. Had some plans and the boys got rewarded. We applied ourselves, we batted well to get a 100-run lead, not pleasing to see the last six wickets. We knew that it's going to be a short game, we knew ever run matters, to get that lead was very important. (On Siraj) Very special, something you don;t get to see very often. We spoke about keeping things simple and that's what happened. The pitch did the rest. Lot of credit to Siraj, Bumrah, Mukesh and Prasidh. Whenever you come here, it's challenging. We have played a lot of good cricket outside India, we take a lot of pride. We would have loved to win the series. South Africa is a great team, they always challenges us, they are sch a good team. We can take a lot of pride from this performance. (On Elgar) Such an important player for SA, very gritty, we apprentice that. I'd like to wish him the best. Brilliant career, best wishes ahead.

Dean Elgar (200 runs) and Jasprit Bumrah (12 wickets) get Player of the Series award.

The ball flicks Kohli's gloves on its way to the keeper. SA went for the DRS, and the ultra-edge enforced the correct decision to stand. India lose three, with four more to get.

Tony de Zorzi drops a ball that went way too high in the sky. The fielder at gully had a better chance, but remained unmoved. Finally, de Zorzi went for it, and ended up dropping it.
