The safari adventure, which lasted for almost a month, taught Team India a lot. On this tour, India saw both thrilling victories and heartbreaking defeats. In this specific context, let’s look at the lessons learned from the South Africa series.
Since the series was tied, team captains Rohit Sharma of India and Dean Elgar of South Africa accepted the trophy together. After the Twenty20 series against Australia, Team India embarked on a safari excursion, during which they witnessed a great deal this month.
The Team Indian side won the One-Day International series 2-1 after drawing the T20 and Test series against South Africa. India tested a number of young players during this tour. For the first time, Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma took part in the South Africa series.
India gave up the first innings lead and set a target of 79 runs. Team India needed to lose three wickets in 12 overs to accomplish their goal. For the Indian team’s hitters, Yashaswi Jaiswal scored 28 runs while Rohit Sharma scored 17 runs without getting out. The three safari bowlers that each claimed a wicket were Andre Burger, Kagiso Rabada, and Marco Jansen.
India won the second Test match against South Africa by a seven-wicket margin. India became the first Asian team to win in Cape Town. With this victory, India leveled the two-match series at one. Only twice did Team India tie the Test series after nine travels to South Africa. Interestingly, the other seven times they were defeated.
