Robin Uthappa: As the fourth T20I of the five-match series between India and South Africa was called off without a ball being bowled due to excessive fog in Lucknow, pushing the series outcome to the final match, former India batter Robin Uthappa shared his thoughts on the series so far, saying that the visitors have been ‘a bit hot and cold’ in the T20Is.
Uthappa assessed South Africa’s showing on the tour, noting both their competitiveness and inconsistency in the T20I leg. Opining on the Proteas’ outings, Uthappa said on JioStar, “South Africa have played very competitively, but they’ve been a bit hot and cold in the T20I series. That said, it has still been very entertaining. I thought they bowled really well, while their batting has been a little inconsistent.”
“It’s going to be an interesting contest because they will want to level the series. Overall, they’ve had a great tour. They dominated the Test series and were competitive in the white-ball formats as well. India came back strongly, but South Africa will want to win the next one and head home with their heads held high,” he added.
