Aiden Markram (SA): Very disappointing. Yet again not upto scratch. Virat played beautifully and their spinners played a massive part again. But we managed to claw our way back. They are world class spinners. Our batsmen are struggling to pick their spinners. They are landing the ball in the right areas more often than not. Credit to them. If ABD would be back, it might serve as a massive inspiration.

Virat Kohli, Man of the Match: Well, did not start off well. For us to give ourselves a chance, I had to stay stuck in there. Another pleasing day, individually and from the team's perspective. The wicket got slower with the old ball. You had to get adjusted to the pace of the wicket. It got slower as the game progressed. If you lead from the front, it feels better. Few runs with MS and a good partnership with Bhuvi helped us.This wicket was not supposed to help the wrist spinners. These two back themselves. Today it was outstanding from them. We wanted to bat first and change things a bit. Having an opportunity,we would take the confidence into the fourth game.
