South Africa's Simon Harmertook a gentle jibe on the Indian media for concluding that India had the game in their hands after being set a 124-run target in the first Test at the Eden Gardens. However, the Proteas secured a narrow 30-run in Kolkata to take the lead in the two-match Test series.
The right-arm off-spinner spoke on how the press had already ruled South Africa out of the contest at the end of Day 2. Harmer said that there was belief in the camp at the end of the second day and that it was a collective effort from the team to pull off the turnaround.
Harmer also recounted that many players who had been on the wrong side of results in India in the past were overjoyed when things finally swung in their favour. To conclude, he mentioned that it was good to be on the winning side.
