<p>"Wankhede - My There's no better feeling than being at home, and that holds true for me when I play at the Wankhede. The sense of belongingness and the vibes I get here are incredible. My favourite ground to play cricket! #MyMemories," Rahane wrote on Instagram post.</p>
<p>Chasing a mammoth target of 439, India fell short of 214 runs and lost the five-match series 3-2. Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan were the only Indian batsmen to score above 50.</p>
<p>Dhawan scored 60 runs while Rahane scored quickfire 87 runs off 58 balls. His effort went in vain as he failed to guide Men in Blue to victory.</p>
<p>He was picked by Dale Steyn in the 27th over. The home side were bundled at 224 in 36 overs.</p>
<p>For visitors, Steyn picked three wickets while Kagiso Rabada grabbed four scalps.</p>
<p>Earlier, South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first. Proteas top-order played exceptionally well as their three out of four batsmen scored centuries.</p>
<p>Quinton de Kock (109), Faf du Plessis (133 retired hurt) and AB de Villiers (119) scored a ton. De Kock was awarded Player of the Match for his blazing innings off 87 balls.</p>
<p>The trio's contribution enabled Proteas to stage a 438/4 total against India in 50 overs.</p>
