At 197-4, with 261 more to get and the awesome threesome of Mohammed Shami, Zaheer Khan and er..Ishant Sharma bowling at the South Africans, it seemed it was only a matter of time before Team India would wrap them up to notch a famous victory. AB de Villiers and Du Plessis naturally had other ideas, and went on to put on a terrific partnership to place their team within striking distance of a record victory. And then from that position, India somehow contrived to force a draw. The UnReal Times correspondent Mark Zuckerpandian brings you the report from the Safdarjung Hospital where he’s been admitted after his ball by ball coverage of the match yesterday.
