Fell 50-60 Runs Short Because Of Losing Three-four Wickets In Quick Succession, Says Sitanshu Kotak
Sitanshu Kotak: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak believes the visitors’ fell 50-60 runs short of their expected total in the second ODI against South Africa due to losing three-four wickets in quick succession, leading to their eight-wicket defeat at the St. George’s Park on Tuesday night.
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.
"They batted really well. Sai only played his second ODI and he applied himself really well to get to his fifty. KL batted beautifully, took his time early on because the wicket demanded that and then he started literally going run-a-ball."
