That's what you get for carrying mentally shot ****s in the side. Think they're 100% on the job at hand atm?

Anyway, congratulations SA on a well-deserved series win. Been the more mature side in every respect.

Don't think Pujara nor Rahane are surviving now. Pujara's probably was hanging by a thread but that drop has sealed the deal. But man it took a series defeat for us to understand they are useless. Dravid is expected to cop a lot of stick for backing Rahane over Iyer n Vihari

Too reliant on miracles from the bowlers. Not been disciplined during the 4th innings in both games, but more importantly not enough ****ing runs

On track for an 8 wicket loss here. Kohli's 'inspirational' captaincy clearly so crucial to this side

Last decade I reckon Kohli dropping B Mac in 2014 was costliest drop from Indian POV & this decade has a strong contender in Pujara already

I don't know, I can't imagine they'll be dropped immediately. It's likely they will get a home series each. But I would prefer guys like Iyer and Vihari too, a return for Gill should be on the cards. There's a lot of batting talent in their 20s and the older guys need to make way.

Kohli's form, injuries and captaincy are also a concern. His immature behaviour after the DRS review yesterday, the arrogant and entitlement he breeds into his players is a major reason India have lost the WTC final and now yet another series in SA, against the weakest SA side in our life time.

His batting form is even worse, since the start of the last WTC he is averaging less than 40 and only has home track centuries. Of course, he is a great batsman and deserves a shot at retaining form but India shouldn't be looking at another Dravid, Dhoni, Tendulkar style situation where these guys were given exceedingly long ropes to carry on playing well after their best, to the detriment of the team.

like a certain tennis player- djokovic!

This is the weakest SA side since apartheid, cant believe they lost so easily here. No steyn, morkel, philander. Paper thin batting lineup without great stars like de villiers or kallis.
