India defeated South Africa by 135 runs.
The Indian team absolutely dominated South Africa in the fourth and final T20I of the four-game series between both sides. The Men in Blue held the advantage coming into the game after they had won the first and third T20I. For the fourth and final clash, India and the Proteas took centre stage at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, on November 15.
There were several moments from the game that went viral, from Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson’s knocks to the Indian team’s bowling attack. Notably, there was one more moment that won the hearts of the fans.
During the second innings of the game, as the Indian team celebrated a wicket, the cap of Ravi Bishnoi fell onto the ground during the celebration. In the midst of all of this, Suryakumar Yadav accidentally stepped on the cap, but much to the fans’ delight, Surya immediately picked the cap up and kissed it as a sign of respect for the Indian crest.
Our plans were very clear: Suryakumar Yadav
Furthermore, the star India skipper took centre stage and talked about his side’s performance throughout the fourth T20I. He revealed the Men in Blue kept their plans very clear and that there was no secret to adapting to the conditions that were in play.
"There is no secret to adapting to the conditions and situations. Our plans were very clear. Last time when we came here, we played the same brand of cricket and wanted to continue that. The game today, we spoke about it and we wanted to follow those good habits. Didn't think about the results and it happened automatically. (On their batting) It is very difficult for me to choose between the two. It was amazing batting skills displayed by them (Abhishek, Sanju and Tilak). We spoke about it and they walked the talk,” Surya said during the post-match presentation ceremony.
