India versus South Africa: In a lost cause, India's T20 batting formula ... (The Indian Express)

Indian batsmen led by Ishan Kishan embraced an ultra-aggressive approach from the word go.

The most perceptible difference was in how they approached the middle-overs (overs 7 to 16), usually the quietest phase of a T20 innings, when batsmen wait for loose balls and motor on with a stream of singles to build the platform for the death overs. Earlier, Shreyas showed he was undaunted by the propensity to get out to wrist spinners and smoked Shamsi for a brace of sixes in an over. Greed ushered in his downfall, but in the world of the gluttonous, better be greedy. From the sixth to the 11th over, they plundered 76 runs in six overs, of which only one had fielder restriction. Gaikwad weaved away a touch from the line of the ball and hooked it. He missed—Rabada was shrewd to pick the cues his feet betrayed—and looked witless.

Miller, van der Dussen see off India challenge in high-scoring contest (ESPNcricinfo.com)

South Africa 212 for 3 (van der Dussen 75*, Miller 64*) beat India 211 for 4 (Kishan 76, Shreyas 36, Parnell 1-32) by seven wickets.

It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. But van der Dussen, oft-criticised for his slow scoring rate, could not get the ball away as regularly until he broke the toe-end of his bat and had to change it for another. Kishan was on 52 and went on to add 24 more to his score, most of it off Maharaj. The very next ball, there was an opportunity to run out Rishabh Pant for a duck at the non-striker's end, when he wanted to sneak a run but collided with Rabada. Stubbs lobbed the ball over the fielder backing-up at that end. Pretorius swung hard and got the short, full, and length ball over the leg side before Harshal broke through his defences with a slower ball and took out off stump. Then, three balls past the halfway mark, Maharaj shortened his length as he sawShreyas Iyercoming down the track and Quinton de Kock had an opportunity to stump him, but could not break the wicket in time. He slayed the short ball, advanced down the track to hit Shamsi for six three times, and then belted Maharaj through the leg-side for 20 runs off four balls before successfully reviewing an lbw call. The first came immediately after the powerplay when Gaikwad pulled a hip-high short ball from Parnell to Pretorius at long leg.

Kohli had made his debut as T20I captain against England in Kanpur in 2017 and India lost the fixture by 7 wickets. Notably, Pant took over as captain on the eve of the 5-match T20I series after KL Rahul was ruled out with an injury. Rishabh Pant joined an unfortunate list as he became only the 2nd India men's team player to lose his first T20I match as captain.

Asked about how they dealt with Delhi's heat, Temba Bavuma said that the contingent had to cut down on practice ahead of the game to keep their players fit.

While van der Dussen struggled to play at the start, Miller continued his red-hot form and dominated Indian bowlers. A bit tricky to assess the bowling. I am being overly critical because the pitch was good. "We expected the wicket to get better as the night went on. Him partnering with David does make out batting explosive," said Bavuma in a post-match presentation.

The likes of Quinton de Kock, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje were all part of the league this season, which was played entirely in India.

But luck is the part of the game." But David continued his form from the IPL and played brilliant innings, put pressure on the bowlers, and just pulled me through.

India versus South Africa: Rassie Van der Dussen's unassuming yet ... (The Indian Express)

The 33-year-old had crawled to just 29 off 30 balls on Thursday, before plundering 45 of the next 15 to hand South Africa a famous win.

“I tried to live my life in a way that I thought could improve me in terms of my training, in terms of my diet, and all the aspects that went into it. Like van der Dussen — in many ways the pin-up hero of this South African side. During the years of snub, he packed off to distant shores to experience different cultures and get exposure to different conditions. This is a South Africa team sans the machismo that has been the tragic flaw of more gifted Proteas sides, according to coach Paddy Upton. “I think machoness is a problem in non-Asian countries. Aiden Markram was once considered a T20 misfit; Miller, out of depression, had once thought of quitting the game (link: https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/devotion-and-courage-david-millers-rise-from-talented-teen-to-international-match-winner-7956113/); Bavuma has eternally worn the flattered-to-deceive millstone around his neck. Van der Dussen kept racking up runs in the school circuit and caught the attention of the Titans, his home team. In his teenage years, he was supposed to be the least talented of the four brothers of the Dussen household in Pretoria. His brother Adrian was the boy with the blue chip but ended up as a journalist before switching to digital marketing. His is a team without superstar batsmen, no one with the towering persona of de Villiers or du Plessis, or Graeme Smith or Dale Steyn. He hits a lot of balls, understands his strengths and weaknesses, and works on those weaknesses. So after matriculation, which he finished a year earlier, he told his father that he wanted to do a post-matriculation, so that he could get some proper cricket coaching. Van der Dussen had just crawled to 29 off 30; a rate that even in the 50-over game is considered unsatisfactory. To the extent that when he often introduces himself back home, he’s promptly asked if he indeed was the former Springbok rugby coach and player Rassie Erasmus.
