IND vs SA 3rd ODI: Will the rain play spoilsport in Delhi match today?
Shikhar Dhawan: "I am proud of the boys, the way they played in the series. The way they carried the responsibility and showed maturity. We showed a lot of character in the first game, we dropped a few catches, but we never really put pressure on ourselves."
Mohammed Siraj: "Performing against a good team gives you a lot of confidence. I had to take the responsibility. As a fast bowler you need that fire and passion inside you."
Kuldeep Yadav: "Feeling very happy, to be honest. Getting the Player of the Match award, the wicket was perfect and I am enjoying my bowling. I am trying to bowl in good areas. Not thinking too much, my next target is to perform well in Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament."
David Miller: "It was very tough. Didn't help scoring just 99. Disappointing result today, to finish off the series in that way. We just need to extend the good periods when it comes to ODIs."
Shubman Gill: "Quite disappointed by the way I got out. But all learnings from the series - the way we were down and the way we came back was tremendous. The bowlers did a great job in this series. Really pleasing series for us."
Gill departs for 49. India three down with three runs required to win. 97/3.
