After two back-to-back defeats team, India finally get back into their winning momentum in the last game against SA. Now, Pant and his men will be looking to keep the momentum going till the end of the series. India is trailing by 1-2 in the series and needed two victories next to grab the trophy. Although, it will be a tough job for the side as the Proteas will not get them going from here onwards.
