Captain KL Rahul Rues Batting Collapse In Second ODI Defeat To South Africa
Captain KL Rahul: After losing the second ODI to South Africa by eight wickets at the St. George’s Park on Tuesday night, India captain KL Rahul was left ruing the batting collapse which saw the visitors fall from 114/2 to 211 all out.
India were looking good at one stage to amass a huge total, thanks to fine fifties from Rahul and B Sai Sudharsan, who got his second ODI half-century in as many innings. But after the duo fell, rest of the batters were unable to capitalise on the platform in a bid to get quick runs and were all out for 211 in 46.2 overs.
“There was a bit of help at the start. It was tough to bat on but a couple of us got set. Had we gone on, we could have gotten 50-60 runs extra and that would have made a difference. When we batted, we thought even 240-250 would have been good. With a set batter, we might have gotten those runs. We lost wickets at crucial times,” admitted Rahul in the post-match presentation ceremony.
