Simon Harmer has picked 60 wickets for South Africa at an average of 23.38 and has seven four-wicket and one five-wicket haul to his name.
He also shed light on the fact that the Indian media had almost declared them the losing side and declared the game to be done and dusted at the end of day 2. He praised Bavuma and the entire team for their belief and joint effort.
"There was definitely the belief. We were thinking we could have got to 150 there. And then we go out and Marco gets those two wickets and with Shubman not playing, they were effectively none for three. We thought we had a real chance. Everybody chipped in. It's cliche but it was a proper team effort," he said on 'talkSPORTCricket'.
Simon Harmer played a huge role in South Africa's win
He claimed that the team had belief at the end of day two and manifested a victory. As a lot of their players have been on the wrong side of results previously, he reflected that this win was very important from a wider point of view.
"So they were extremely excited and chuffed. The noise when Axar was hitting those sixes in the stadium was deafening. So yeah, you're hoping things go your way, and they do," Simon Harmer reflected.
Harmer credits the Indian coach for turning the course of his career back in 2016
"I think the turning point in my career was that trip to Mumbai in 2016. I got to work with Umesh Patwal and basically, everything I thought I knew about spin bowling, he laughed at. It was the most frustrating two weeks of my life. The things that I thought were important it was just thrown out of the window. The evolution from there, it's a constant learning process," he said.
