In the wake of a 337-run defeat to India in the fourth and final Test in Delhi on Monday, there was sympathy on Twitter for how South Africa battled hard for what would have been a memorable draw.
Great fight by the men today…its been a long trip to india, time to come home. Travel safely… #Proteas
