'The best batting conditions are gone, the best bowling conditions can now be enjoyed by India's spinners. South Africa could bowl again, but their deficit of 463 runs and the threat India's spinners have already posed to their inexperienced line-up make it unlikely they will be toiling for any reason other than to allow India to set a winning target on a deteriorating surface. Maharaj admitted the toss may have played a decisive factor but also acknowledged South Africa were not as good as they should have been. "The toss does play a role because you want the best conditions for the spinners to bowl in, but we could have been a little bit better at times. But the toss is a large factor in the outcome of the game," he said.'
"Dean Elgar and Quinton de Kock centuries helped South Africa fight back to reach 8-385 in response to India's mammoth first-innings 502 on Friday, as Ravindra Jadeja became the fastest left-armer in Test history to 200 wickets."
