India beat South Africa by 124 runs to win the third Test at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, in effect also winning the four-match series 2-0. The home side had won in Mohali before the Bengaluru tie was washed out by incessant rain.


"Obviously very disappointing. It was a hard game. Whether we win or lose, we have to fight honourably and well done to the guys," said a dejected Amla.

"We tried to dig deep as long as we can. The pitch was a difficult factor, it was turning and bouncing whether the new ball or the old one. Three-day matches are difficult."

The fourth and the final Test will be played at the Ferozeshah Kotla in New Delhi from December 3 to 7.

South Africa had gone nine years and 15 away trips without losing a series before going down here to end the streak.
