Proteas will still find a way to win

KAGISO Rabada did not bowl a ball in anger at Eden Gardens. But there was arguably nobody happier the moment Aiden Markram claimed the catch that gave the Proteas’ their first Test victory in India in 15 years.

Rabada, seemingly forgetting about his rib injury that kept him on the sidelines, charged onto the field and was the first to embrace captain Temba Bavuma and the team.

“It’s quite nerve wracking on the side and just itching to want to get out,” Rabada said.

“But yeah, I mean, I don't know what to say. It’s just, it’s just like an emotional roller coaster. That was typical Test cricket. I mean, like, just the ebbs and flows of the game.

“We found ourselves on the back foot and then somehow managed to finish on the front foot. I'm glad that we finished on the right side.”
