| Virat Kholi after loosing test match |
The Indian team suffered a humiliating defeat in the first
Test match played against South Africa in Cape Town. After the defeat, captain
Virat Kohli called Indian batting as the main reason. Kohli said after losing
the Indian 72, "We lost by almost 70 runs, if we were not missed in the
first innings, then they could score runs around 220 runs. Due to losing many
wickets in a short span, our position has deteriorated. We were in the match
three days and this was a great match. "
Captain Kohli believes that one batsman should have scored 70
to 80 runs in the second innings. Virat said that it was a great effort but
someone needed to score 75 or 80 runs, 20 or 30 runs were not enough. He had a
slow bowler (Dale Steyn) but he pitch the ball in the right area and started
his yard. We also need to improve our mistakes. ''
Let us tell you that no major partnership was played apart
from the 99-run partnership for the eight wicket between Hardik Pandya and
Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first innings of India, which is a concern of the
team.

Kohli said, "The good partnership's role in this match
was important and they performed better than us. The bowlers took a lesson
early and did a fantastic performance in the second innings. "He
complimented Pandya who scored 93 runs in the first innings. Kohli said,
"We have faith in Pandya, our country or abroad, he always wants to
perform well. He showed great emotions and his innings were magnificent. ''
South African captain Faf du Plessis said that his team
showed good at all times in difficult moments. He said, "We have done well
in the tough times every time in this Test. The way we responded every time, it
was fantastic. Even in spite of their good bowling, we did not allow pressure.
''
Duplessis said, "On the first morning we expected that
the ball would take the move but in the first hour we lost some wickets. I was
feeling that 270 is a good score, but Pandya took the risk after that and it
went away. Again the bowlers took responsibility responsibly. Our strategy was
to reach over 200 runs and take the lead around 350 runs. "They
said," We were surprised by the way the ball was coming, it was like the
pitch of the first day. "Fast bowler Vernon Philander selected man of the
match
