"It's Not Like We Are Playing Random People," Virat Kohli Speaks on Team India's Disastrous Loss Against SA!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsAfter the first match was called off due to rain and India claimed the second, Quinton de Kock led South Africa levelled the three-match T201 series against India at Chinnaswamy stadium yesterday. Apparently, Virat Kohli’s call to bat first did not go well as the pitch was sluggish, leaving the team’s top and middle orders crumble.
On the other hand, de Kock who was appointed Captain for the series after South Africa’s disastrous World Cup performance under Faf du Plessis, scored an unbeaten 79 runs to lead the team to victory.
Speaking to the press post match, India Skipper Virat Kohli said South Africa bowled well and the pitch suited them in the first innings. "We will have games like this where we don't execute what we want. But as long as the intent is there to improve, we'll be in a good zone. I think South Africa bowled well, the pitch suited them in the first innings and we weren't able to read the tempo of the game well."
He further said the team will try to get the squad composition right as soon as possible, stressing that people will also have to understand that the team is a young side and it needs time for them to come together.
"The guys who have done well in the domestic circuit are getting opportunities, so it's not like we are playing random people.”
