• KL Rahul as the “temporary captain” – optics, politics & options
• Is No.5 too important a spot for an all-rounder?
• Harshit Rana’s dream new-ball spell and early South Africa collapse
• The fightback from Tony de Zorzi, Brevis and Marco Jansen
• Why Kuldeep Yadav is so deadly in ODI chases
• What this win does for India’s confidence after the Test disaster
