Dhawan's doggedness better than numbers suggest

After scoring a pair in Mohali, Shikhar Dhawan has tightened his game and backed his defence, but the challenge to convert the disciplined efforts into big innings still remains

05-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Kohli orchestrates the perfect choke

Throughout this series, never mind the pitches earlier, India have made it seem like South Africa are batting against 18 fielders, and not nine

04-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Rahane revels after turning full circle

Ajinkya Rahane had to fight off memories of his forgettable debut in Delhi to resurrect India from a position of vulnerability. In doing so, he struck the only century of the series so far

04-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Power to the people lets Delhi thrive

The common man has taken over the most exclusive of clubs, thanks to an outsider and under retired Delhi High Court judge Mukul Mudgal's charge, the first day of the India-South Africa Test was a sound success

03-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Rahane buries Kotla ghost in tough conditions

Thanks to Ajinkya Rahane, India have posted the highest total of the series, and his average in India is past 22 now. That absolute failure of a series, which looked likely, can wait despite such tough conditions

03-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

India aggressive on the field but defensive off it

Straight off the bat, India have been coy about the pitches rolled out for the series. They have refused to answer direct questions, comparing the Tests against South Africa with whatever seems convenient to them

02-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

No sense in blaming the wicket - Kohli

The ICC match officiating team's "poor" rating of the Nagpur pitch has had no impact on Virat Kohli's outlook towards the playing surfaces

02-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Last chance at redemption for South Africa

On paper this series resembled India's tour of England in 2011. The No. 1 side in the world went in with big expectations and came out bruised

02-Dec-2015•The Preview by Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Mishra pleased with quality over quantity

R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have taken the bulk of India's wickets against South Africa, but Amit Mishra has played an important role too, chipping in with key strikes at important junctures

01-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Saha grows out of uncertain phase

Wriddhiman Saha has slowly started settling into the India Test line-up, showing fight with the bat and sharp keeping skills

30-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

Extreme spin ends SA's nine-year away run

South Africa went more than nine years and 15 away trips without losing a series, but it took just seven days of cricket to end the streak

27-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

South Africa struggling at end of 20-wicket day

On a pitch that turned batting into a lottery, South Africa failed to buy their ticket

26-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

Bangalore Test ends with four washout days

The ninth-shortest non-abandoned Test ended just before noon on the fifth day, with wet conditions and intermittent drizzle washing out a fourth day in a row

18-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

Draw inevitable after another washout

Any hopes India had of forcing an unlikely result were blown away after another day's play was washed out in Bangalore

17-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

Wet weather consumes second day in a row

South Africa were a day closer to saving the Test after play on third day was called off at 11.30am

16-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

Steady rain washes out day two

South Africa received an unexpected hand to give them a shot at saving the Bangalore Test

15-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

Spinners bowl hapless South Africa out for 214

India showed they were not one-trick ponies by choosing to field on what turned out to be a proper Test-match first-day pitch and bowling out South Africa for 214

14-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

'I've let go of that fear of failing'

AB de Villiers analyses his batting and hits several theories out of the park

12-Nov-2015•Interview by Sidharth Monga

Neither a bad pitch nor a good one

Batsmen from both sides made a turning Mohali surface look worse than it actually was, but the cricket it produced was one-dimensional. A series of this stature deserves a greater variety of skills to be on display

09-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga

Refreshed Jadeja rediscovers his mojo

Top fitness, a bit of batting, sharpness in the field, and deadly accuracy when bowling... that has been Ravindra Jadeja's recipe for success in Test cricket previously, and it was on show once again in Mohali
