Duminy&#39;s 67 and Quinton de Kock&#39;s 56. In reply, despite Dhawan&#39;s 73 and Mahendra Singh Dhoni&#39;s 16-ball 30 towards the end, India fell short of the target by four runs as they could manage only 192\/3 in 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;As an individual, it was a good learning for me as I batted till the 15-16th over. So with my calculation, for the next games, I will be better when I face these kind of situations in T20s. So it was a good learning for me and I got wiser,&quot; Dhawan said at the post-match press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;We were trying out combinations like &#39;Bhajji pa&#39; (Harbhajan Singh) bowled the first over. Then all other bowlers who were playing, bowled. I guess that&#39;s how we are trying and it&#39;s good everyone is getting a game and getting used to the pressure or the wickets or the pitch or everything. Things changed in the last 3-4 months in the team.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India open their World T20 campaign against New Zealand in Nagpur on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Asked why the best finishers were not able to deliver against the Proteas, Dhawan said, &quot;These are normal things. It does not happen that the best finishers will always guarantee the task. Everyone gave their best and that&#39;s what matters.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;At a time when we were chasing such a big total and wickets fell early on, after that there was a good partnership and we came so close, it was only a matter of four runs. We learnt a lot from this game. What we learned today will be implemented in the future.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With many terming India as favourites to lift the title, the 30-year-old said the burden of expectations will be shared among the teammates and not borne by any individual.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;We stay close as a family. We&#39;ll try to share the burden of expectations as a group and not individuals. We are playing at home and the expectations of &#39;ghar ke log&#39; (home crowd) is always there and we are also used to it. We are playing with it for a long time and that&#39;s how we are going to deal with it,&quot; Dhawan concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
