Visakhapatnam, June 14: The Indian team bounced back with a comprehensive show to hand South Africa a 48-run defeat and keep the five match series alive.

It was about adapting the way they were playing the game. We have certain goals as a bowling group and we want to continue to achieve the goals. It was a must-win game for us so pretty happy with the way it turned out. But Reeza's the guy we back at the top. (Middle over) I don't think it's a good thing, but we will try to improve and whosoever is going in they should finish the game with a big margin. Rishabh Pant, Winning Captain: I had talked about the execution, I thought we were just a little off about the execution in the previous games. (Same Team) I think specially in India when you play the spinners play a big role. Harshal Patel struck on the last ball of the powerplay to remove Reeza Hendricks (23 off 20) and reduce South Africa 38/2 at the end of six overs. I was trying to bowl to my strengths today. Earlier, after being sent in to bat, openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan handed India a flying start. The visitors kept losing wicket as the run rate creeped up. Hardik Pandya's (31 off 21) cameo at the end saw India post 179/5.

Fifties from Gaikwad and Kishan also play a part in hosts' dismantling of South Africa in Vizag.

He swung the ball both ways to deliver two overs for seven runs but was taken off by Pant, who has developed a habit of replacing bowlers who are applying pressure. Bhuvneshwar's squeeze worked - Bavuma was caught at mid-on as he tried to clear the in field off Axar. Hendricks edged Chahal, but the chance didn't carry to slip, before he swung at a Harshal slower ball and was caught at mid-off to end the powerplay on 38 for 2.

The young Indian team scripted a great fightback in the T20Is against South Africa on Tuesday night to keep the series alive by winning the third match by a huge margin of 48 runs. He was unbeaten in the qualifier 1 and final of the IPL while playing for Gujarat Titans and then took South Africa home in the first two matches of this series by staying not out. But it was a great slower delivery from Harshal Patel which foxed Miller completely as he was caught at extra cover by Ruturaj Gaikwad. This was the first time Miller was dismissed in the series and in fact his first dismissal in 5 matches.

In the same over, though, Nortje grazed Gaikwad’s grille with a brutal incutting bouncer, and could have had him caught had short third man been more alert. After India were asked to bat first yet again, Ruturaj Gaikwad came good after a couple of failures for his maiden international half-century. He still found enough nip in the corridor to have Pretorius and van der Dussen caught behind. Axar delivered the wicket of South African skipper Temba Bavuma in his first over, and Chahal, bowling quick, flat and skiddy, sent back Dwaine Pretorius and Rassie van der Dussen.

The spring in his step was a direct offshoot of his dismissal of van der Dussen in his second over. In deference to the team’s plans, however, he readily came on in the fifth over and it was immediately obvious that he had only one thing on his mind – wickets. Nothing lifts a bowler, any bowler, more than a notation in the ‘wickets’ column. At the ACA-VDCA Stadium in the port city of Vizag, on a responsive surface, the Chahal of old resurfaced with telling effect. Chahal doesn’t fancy bowling in the Powerplay when only two men in the deep offer scant insurance against a drag-down or a long-hop. Chastened by the plastering he had received at various times this series from Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen, Chahal shed his inhibitions, rolled the clock back and produced a spell for the ages. He raced through his overs, bowling flatter and quicker and relying on the slider, bowling to contain and not conquer. The 3rd T20I reiterated how dependent India are on Chahal in the middle overs. The end result – a high-quality exhibition of exceptional leg-spin and assorted bowling, a timely reminder that two failures don’t define him, a three-wicket burst that broke the back of the South African chase, and a comprehensive 48-run victory that helped India arrest a seven-match losing streak across all three formats against the Proteas. Chahal had meandered through the first two games in Delhi and Cuttack respectively, registering unflattering figures of one for 75 in 6.1 overs. By instinct and intent, he is an attacking bowler; he is a wicket-taker who relies on his immense craft to reduce batters to blundering wrecks. Varun Chakravarthy, the ‘mystery’ spinner picked alongside Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, barely caused a ripple as India hurtled to crushing defeats against Pakistan and New Zealand, their campaign over in a jiffy.

"Look, Quinton is a big player at the top of the order but unfortunately we don't have him at our disposal, he is injured. This is the squad we have built over the last two years. I don't think you were expecting that we will just come here and win the series 5-0 because all the big names are not there. "I don't think it is a weak team, these are guys who performed exceedingly well in their domestic competition and IPL. These are quality players. In the first two games, we batted really well but today it was an off day for the batters." "They bowled quite well, their captain got their spinners early into the game which I think made a big difference versus us.
