Pant said India will have to learn from the series and get better in future. “We need to take the learning and stick as a team. We needed to be clear with our mindset. In the future, we need to learn from it and get better”

Stand-in skipper Rishabh Pant on Wednesday conceded that India needed to get better as a Test team, and said results cannot be taken for granted just because of playing in home conditions.
“It’s little disappointing. As a team we need to get better. We need to give credit to the opposition. They dominated the series but at the same time, you can’t take cricket for granted [because of playing at home],” said Pant in the post-match presentation.
Pant said India will have to learn from the series and get better in future. “We need to take the learning and stick as a team. We needed to be clear with our mindset. In the future, we need to learn from it and get better.”
The wicketkeeper-batter admitted that South Africa played better cricket throughout the series. “They played better cricket. Cricket demands that you need to capitalise as a team. And we did not do that and that cost us the whole series,” he added.
