India tour of south africa: Cricket News & Match Updates

India captain Virat Kohli said on Friday that comparing their bowlers' to the South Africa bowling attack is unfair. He added that one has to focus on their strengths as a side. After leading 1-0, India went on to face defeat in the next two matches in Johannesburg and Cape Town to lose the three-match series to South Africa 2-1.

Kohli was responding to a question which suggested if the height difference between the pacers of South Africa and India was a factor in the tourists' losing the series. "I think the two times South Africa chased the scores down, they batted really well and applied themselves. We have different strengths, so to compare their bowlers' to ours' will not be correct because the kind of help we get on all pitches across the world, I don't think any bowling attack is able to do that at the current moment. Precisely, why we have been so successful anywhere in the world. Our strengths are different and we bowled at different areas as there are many different way to pick up wickets," said Kohli in the post-match press conference.   Read More...
