New Delhi: India head coach for South Africa tour VVS Laxman praised the Men in Blue after their emphatic series-clinching win over South Africa on Friday. India beat the Proteas by 135 runs in the fourth and final match to bag the series 3-1. Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson smashed powerful centuries while spinner Varun Chakravarty made a big impact with the ball as India cruised to a special win.
Post their massive victory, Laxman took to social media site X to laud the team for their tremendous efforts. “Really proud of our guys for the spirit with which they played this entire series. 3-1 win is a special effort, brilliantly led by @surya_14kumar, @IamSanjuSamson and Tilak were unstoppable with the bat and Varun Chakravarty was outstanding with the ball,” Laxman posted on his “X” account.

Suryakumar also lauds Team India
Apart from the coach, skipper Suryakumar Yadav also described the win as a special one. He said that everyone knows how tough it is to win a series overseas and the last time when India toured Proteas, it was 1-1. Surya, as he’s fondly known, gave a superb prep talk to the boys for the massive victory. He thanked the non-playing members of the side like Vijaykumar Vyshak, Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal — for their support, apart from the ones who were part of the action.
After the big series win, the focus now shifts to the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy for Team India, as the Test line up has been practicing hard for the all-important series.
