South Africa v India: defiance of Gautam Gambhir sees tourists to consolidate first place

India validated their ranking as number one in Test cricket team when they have attracted the third and final Test and got a part of the series against the second rank in South Africa

Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir guided the India security with a bat 64 prudent. Make an unlikely 340 win value, India were 166 for three of play off with eight overs remaining. It was the first time in five tours of South Africa that the India has succeeded a share of honours, an achievement that seemed unlikely when they were beaten by a bat and 25 runs in the first Test of Centurion.

But the India rebounded by winning the second Test in Durban by 87 runs. A raffle was a result just in Newlands after a match of fluctuating fortunes and the performance of high-quality players from both teams.

Man of the match and the man of the series Jacques Kallis takes her career total of centuries of Test at 40 with sleeves of 161 and 109 not out, while Sachin Tendulkar, the front man of him on the list of all time, made a battling 146 for the India.

Dale Steyn, leading worldwide fast bowler takes five to 75 in the first round, but he had to wait an hour and a half before the close Thursday scheduled to add to his tally, with Gambhir made on the side of the leg by wicketkeeper Mark Boucher. Kallis and played Gambhir crucial second round after having sustained injuries in the first sleeve that will keep a series next day.

Gambhir suffered a left elbow injury while 93 in the first round and appeared to be in distress, when he was struck by Morkel just below the elbow injury in the second to the second round. He received treatment fieldwork before exercising to stick with any obvious signs of discomfort.

Gaucher Gambhir throws 271 minutes and coping with bullets of 154 it is practically certain that India could not be beat. South Africa could do as a single breakthrough in each of the three sessions. Although there were some uneven bounce, the field did not help the bowlers as far as the South Africans had hoped.

After a 2-1 defeat against the Australia in 2008-2009 and a series drawn against England at last season, it was the third successive home series in South Africa has failed to win. Even the Virender Sehwag normally aggressive made no attempt to score quickly when the India started the final round of the series.

The first of its two limits came only in seventh, when he cut to the Steyn bracket at the border, and the second was a chance to half a JP Duminy leaping point backward when it plays a similar shot against Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

Sehwag has finished a disappointing series when he was caught at first slip by South African captain Graeme Smith off the coast of Morkel to 11 after batting for three minutes to an hour. Sehwag scored 144 runs in the series to an average of 24.

Gambhir and Rahul Dravid defying the South African bowlers until after the break for afternoon drinks in a stand of 79 second-window until Dravid was captured the third slip 31 when he had a Tsotsobe shot threw just short of length.
