“If there is a bit of turn from the pitch, I think Jadeja [could inflict most damage]. He bowls so flat that he doesn’t allow the batter any chance to go down the pitch and attack him. So if there’s just a bit of assist, his four overs could be telling as far as India are concerned,” Gavaskar stated whereas chatting with the host broadcaster.
“Ravi Bishnoi… still finding his feet at the international level. Yes, he is the No. 1 T20 bowler in the world but again, if you get stuck into him, sometimes you tend to see him bowl faster and quicker. The faster you bowl on a good pitch, it gets that much easier for the batters because the pace is exactly what they are looking for.”
Despite posting 180/7 earlier than rain introduced India’s innings to a detailed with three balls to go, the situations made it robust for the bowlers to defend the revised goal of 152 in 15 overs. South Africa had been off to a flier with Reeza Hendricks and Matthew Breetzke blasting 42 inside three overs, and despite the fact that India got here again with wickets within the center order, Tristan Stubbs and Andile Phehlukwayo received SA over the road with the latter hitting a six off Jadeja to offer SA a 1-0 lead. Gavaskar identified that whereas India struggled to grip the ball, credit score should go to South Africa for pulling off a nicely-planned chase.
“It wasn’t easy for the Indian bowlers. You could see that the ball was very wet. They had to keep wiping it which is never easy. Because the ball feels like soap in your hands. Even for the fielders, as the ball comes in and suddenly slips. Things didn’t go India’s way but compliments to South Africa on a well-organised chase,” added the previous India captain.
