IND vs SA 3rd T20I: What Captains Said

Aiden Markram (SA Captain): "To be honest, I wasn't toon unhappy with the 200 looking at how the pitch played as I watched it when fielding. It felt like a little stoppy and a little down when we were batting, while when we were fielding it looked like they could hit it anywhere."

Suryakumar Yadav (IND Captain): "I am good. I am able to walk so it is not that serious. It was wonderful scoring a hundred, and especially when it comes in a winning cause. One box we wanted to tick was play fearless brand of cricket. Really happy the boys showed a lot of character. Kuldeep is never happy with a three-for or a four-for. A perfect self-birthday present."
