- Andile Simelane involved in all three dismissals of Suryakumar Yadav this series - caught him in Durban, trapped him LBW in Gqeberha and got him out caught in Centurion!
- It was the second highest Powerplay total in a T20I for India vs South Africa behind 78/2 in Joburg in 2018.
- Sanju Samson in 2024 becomes only the second batter from a Full Member side to bag five ducks in a calendar year after Zimbabwe's Regis Chakabva in 2022.
Tilak Varma: Incredible feeling to get this coming back from injury. The wicket was two-paced, and challenging at the start. After some time it went well. I was holding my shape while playing the shots. We both (him and Abhishek Sharma) were under pressure. Today's knocks are important for us. Our spinners are bowling well. 200-210 is what we were looking for and we got it. Hopefully we can defend this.
