India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: I believe in my ability, says Rilee Rossouw

Rossouw's blazing show, which included as many as 8 sixes and 7 fours, could make the Protea No 3 a hot property in the IPL auction in December, but the 32-year-old, who has returned to play for SA after quitting the country for a Kolpak deal, claimed that the prospect playing in the lucrative T20 league for the first time since he turned out for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2015, wasn't in his mind when he unleashed mayhem on the Indian bowlers.

India vs South Africa: We need to find answers, still working towards that, says Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma on Tuesday conceded that the Indian team still needs to address some areas of concern, especially bowling, ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. India beat South Africa 2-1 in the three-match T20 International series despite suffering a 49-run defeat in the final game here on Tuesday. They had beaten Australia by a similar margin in the preceding series. "As a team, we said it at the beginning no matter what happens about the result, there's always room for improvement. Even if we do well in all three departments, we want to keep getting better," Rohit said at the post-match presentation.

India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: India lose first game chasing at home in 17 matches

Rilee Rossouw's 48-ball ton fashions SA's 49-run win in dead rubberINDORE: In a city supposed to be a heaven for foodies, South Africa, powered by Rilee Rossouw's murderous 48-ball unbeaten 100-his maiden century in T20Is 'feasted' on a listless India to record a morale-boosting 49-run win in the third and final T20I at the Holkar Stadium here on Tuesday night. SCORECARD | AS IT HAPPENEDEven though it was a dead rubber with India having already bagged the series, the convincing defeat in what was the hosts' final T20I going into the T20 World Cup in Australia, will leave the Men in Blue sweating over their pacers' pathetic form. How badly India's seam bowling department is grappling with injuries and consistency at the moment was evident at the toss when skipper Rohit Sharma revealed that Arshdeep, who had been 'recuperating' at the National Cricket Academy during the Australia series, had a slight niggle in the back and missed the game.

Jasprit Bumrah's absence is big loss, will miss him: Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid on Tuesday admitted that Jasprit Bumrah's absence from the upcoming T20 World Cup due to a back injury will be a "big loss" for the team but said it opens up an opportunity for some other player to stand up and perform. The BCCI on Monday announced that pace spearhead Bumrah will miss the showpiece event in Australia, dealing a blow to the Indian team which has been facing problems in death overs bowling. "Bumrah's absence is a big loss, he's been a great player but it happens, it's an opportunity for someone else to stand up. We'll miss him, his personality around the group," said Dravid after India won the three-match T20I series against South Africa 2-1.

India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: We have to improve, execute plans better in death overs, says Rahul Dravid

Even as he acknowledged that his team needed to "improve, get better" and "execute our plans better" in the death overs going into the T20 World Cup in Australia, India head coach Rahul Dravid defended his bowlers' poor show in the final overs, saying that "it's not been easy bowling in the death on very flat wickets" during the home T20I series against Australia and South Africa. Defending his under-fire bowlers, particularly seamers, Dravid pointed out that it hadn't been easy for the rival team's bowlers either to stop runs on batting beauties. "Obviously, you keep trying to get better in all the departments (of the game). Certainly bowling in the death…you know to be fair it's been very flat wickets, it's not been easy bowling at the death, but only for our team, but the other team (too). Australia and South Africa are sides which have a lot of experience in their bowling attacks, and they've struggled in the death as well. So it's not only us," Dravid said in the post-match presser on Tuesday.

And In That Corner … No. 16 BYU offers physical test for Notre Dame in Las Vegas

For perhaps the first time, Notre Dame’s season-long hopes are lower than its opponents in a Shamrock Series matchup. No. 16 BYU (4-1) can still reach just about every goal in front of it at the start of the season, though perhaps getting into the Playoff may be a bit much. At the very least, the Cougars can finish their final season as an independent in a New Year’s Six bowl.
