Dean Elgar failed to give South Africa a confident start on the third day. It was again a case of poor application as he was caught at silly point by Cheteshwar Pujara off Ashwin.

South Africa received a major blow when AB de Villiers fell cheaply at nine. Again it was Ashwin who found him plumb in front of the wicket.

After dismissing AB de Villiers, Indian players knew that they were within reach of win. And their celebration shows so.

After the fall of Elgar and De Villiers, it looked like South Africa would have a free-fall. But Hashim Amla had some different idea as he steadied the South African innings.

Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis stitched a 72-run partnership to frustrate the Indians. This is South Africa's highest partnership in the series.

Amla-Du Plessis' stand forced the Indians to change their plans. Virat Kohli was in deep discussion with Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja.

India captain Virat Kohli was ecstatic when Amit Mishra scalped Faf du Plessis. The South African batsman was involved in a 72-run partnership with Hashim Amla.

JP Duminy tried building a resistance after the departure of Amla and du Plessis. But he could only delay South Africa's loss.

Ashwin removed Duminy much to the relief of the Indians as he was last of the prominent South African batsmen.
