2nd ODI: Not A Tough Loss To Swallow Due To Dew And Difficulty To Bowl In Second Innings, Says Rahul
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: India captain K.L. Rahul said the four-wicket defeat to South Africa in the second ODI is not too difficult to swallow due to heavy dew making bowling difficult in the second innings. At the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium on Wednesday, India posted 358/5, thanks to centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Virat Kohli, apart from Rahul hitting an unbeaten 66.
But South Africa chased it down with four balls to spare, thanks to Aiden Markram’s 110, followed by Matthew Breetzke’s fluent 68 and Dewald Brevis’ enterprising 54.
“Not really. Considering how much dew there is and how difficult it is to bowl in the second innings, the umpires have been nice enough to change the ball. Toss plays a huge role, and I am kicking myself for losing the toss (with laughter),” said Rahul at the conclusion of the game.
