Captain Rishabh Pant was very happy with the way they executed the plans to perfection during their 48-run win in the must-win third T20I against South Africa on Tuesday.
“I talked about execution and that’s what we saw today, from both batters and bowlers. We thought we were about 15 short but we weren’t thinking too much about that; the bowlers did a fantastic job.”
“Especially in India, the spinners play a big role in the middle overs to contain the batsmen. So there is pressure on them to perform, but in such matches when it comes off, this is what will happen,” Pant was quoted as saying at the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I don’t think it’s a good thing for us” – Rishabh Pant on middle-order woes
“I don’t think it’s a good thing for us (middle-order not performing), but after a good start, it’s difficult for new batsmen to go straight away. We will try to improve in the next match. We have to make sure that we finish the game with a bigger margin,” Pant added.
