Tilak was the hero of the IND vs SA 3rd T20 match
Tilak will be called the hero of this match. Abhishek Sharma did hit a half-century but he is known for his style, but in this match, captain Suryakumar Yadav vacated his number three position for Tilak and he was successful in doing so. While Abhishek was playing his game, Tilak did not let his innings fade away, he kept hitting boundaries whenever he got the chance.

He never allowed any kind of pressure to come on the Indian innings amidst falling wickets and at the end of the innings, the time came when he lived his golden moment in international cricket, that is, his first century in international cricket.
The turning point of the match
The turning point of this match will be called the end of Marco Jansson’s innings. Even though the host team could not win this match, but this was the moment that changed the fate of the match. An innings where 54 runs were scored in 17 balls, which included four fours and five sixes. Such an innings could have changed the course of the match anywhere, but this wicket out of the three of Arshdeep was very special.
Current scenario after South Africa’s loss
The meaning of this match is that even though South Africa’s team is lagging behind in the series, South Africa has a chance to equalize the four-match series in the fourth match here. On the other hand, even though India has gained an unassailable lead, it will have to win the last match to win this series.
