Twitter Celebrates Ecstatically As India Wins T20 Series Too After The ODI Series Against SA

The long tour of South Africa has finally concluded and most importantly it concluded on a winning note for India. India would be happy to take back 2 of the 3 trophies fought for on this tour for it was never going to be easy to decimate South Africa in their own backyard.

After losing the first two tests, we saw a different spark in team India and a different appetite for success. Team India bounced back strongly to win the third test, won the One Day series handsomely by a score of 5-1 and now with this win in the last game of the tour, India has won the T20 series too.

After being asked to bat first, India scored 172 at Cape Town riding on contributions from Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina. The fans were stunned when they realize that Virat Kohli would not be playing the match as he had a stiff back. The onus was on Rohit Sharma and he might have failed as a batsman but his captaincy was spot on.

In response to India’s total, South Africa fell short of 7 runs and India lifted the trophy. For India Shikhar Dhawan top scored with a knock of 47 while Suresh Raina scored 43. As for the hosts, it was skipper JP Duminy who scored the highest but in a losing cause.

JP Duminy scored 55 while debutant Christiaan Jonker made 49. At one stage it seemed that Jonker would steal victory from India’s jaws but that was not to be.

While Suresh Raina was named the Man Of The Match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was awarded the Man Of The Series Award.
