The hero of inner panties when this disappointing bowlers had turned out to be one of the worst tours in India in India at the last time.
They put the show that was a little better with bats, but again sad and lethargic with the ball, when they went to South Africa which was dominant by seven goal in the second Odi in Paarl on Friday night.
The defeat that made the score 2-0 in supporting Proteas, saw them losing the ODI series with the last remaining match to be played at Cape Town on Sunday.
Coming behind a 2-1 loss in the test series to the host, this very disappointing result marked another low for the new Indian coach Rahul Dravid in his first duty abroad.
Like what happened | Scoreecardchoosing to Bat After winning a throw, India lost the ‘former captain’ of Virat Kohli for Rare Odi Duck, but finished 287 for six thanks to the knock on Rishabh (85, 2×6), ‘calm’ 55 by the Stand-in Captain Kl Rahul (55, 79b, 4×4), and a good rear guard, 48-run the seventh goal holder is invincible between Shardul Thakur (40 does not come out, 38b, 3×4, 1×6) and Ravichandran Ashwin (25 do not come out, 24b, 1×4, 1×6) .
However, with pants that came out at the wrong time, holing to widen a long time when in front of a century, on the 33rd, India finished around 30-strange walking short, especially considering their bowling misery.
Chasing 288, Proteas provided a perfect start by opening Janneman Malan (91, 108b, 8×4, 1×6) and Quinton de Kock (78, 66b, 7×4, 3×6), which added 132 as many balls for the first goal.
After De Kock, who sentenced the Indian bowler at will, LBW left while trying to flicked a full throw of Shardul Thakur, Malan added 80 off 76 balls for the second goal with captain Proteas in the form of Bavuma (35 billion, 3×4) to maintain momentum.
Jasprit Burrah Trapped Malan With Off-Cutter, and Bavuma Trapped and Bunkik by Yuzvendra Chahal, but Aiden Markram (37 Not Out, 41b, 4×4) and Rassie Van Der Dussen (37 Not Out, 38b, 2×4) – Who scored a hundred The last match – finishing work for South Africa with a little commotion, adding 74 * to the fourth goal at 75 balls to bring home to the final.
While almost all Bowler seems only through movement, the worst of the most ‘experienced’ of them – Pelaut Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0-67 in 10 overs) and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (0-68 at 10 overs).
The only positive thing for India from the match was provided by Pant, which broke the best score of his career in Odis.
The knock reflects the growth of batsman that has been repeatedly criticized for playing the wrong shot at the wrong time.
Pants started with Edgy’s record, creeping the first ball he faced, which fortunately fell in front of the slip, when he went down the track to Keshav Maharaj.
When he hit on 3, he was involved in a terrible mix with Rahul, who saw both batsmen at the same end.
While he was fortunate to survive because Maharaj failed to collect a throw at the end of the non-striker, the pant did invite glare from Rahul.
He did it well though to put this disturbance quickly, start ‘entertainment package he had known,’ which included 10 four and two sixes, by maharaj slog-swearings for six deep goals.
With Rahul struggled to increase speed, it was the left hander who broke spinner shackles.
How Dominant The Left Hander with Kunis is done with Rahul can be measured by the fact that when the stand reaches 100, the pants contribution is grand 74!
