Shikhar Dhawan is happy that his team was able to show a lot of character on tough pitches during the three-match series against South Africa.

The bowlers were clinical today," Dhawan said after the match.

Back in the groove, Kuldeep Yadav made his ball do the talking in the 3rd ODI against South Africa in New Delhi on Tuesday. After picking one wicket each in the first two matches, Kuldeep put on a show in the third ODI, claiming a 4-for.

India gave a good account of their enormous depth as a young and inexperienced side stunned a strong South Africa unit by seven wickets in third ODI here on Tuesday to secure a memorable series win.

The home team batters, led by Shubman Gill (49), chased a paltry 100-run target in 19.1 overs. The series loss further jeopardised South Africa's chances of a direct qualification for the ODI World Cup next year.
