IND vs SA Tests: What it cost the Indian team to win the girls series in South Africa

So the India-South Africa series has consumed a captain.

Virat Kohli’s passion and energy will be lacking. Not so much the worship of his personality.

He was the leader of those committed to him, not all of them. And he needed his support staff to drive his captaincy.

He had his successes, he managed to gather his men around him and he appreciated and achieved foreign victories. He also had his failures.

Once he had a different support staff, Kohli was taken out of his comfort zone.

It is interesting to note that Kohli said in his statement that he was not capable of giving 120 percent as captain.

But why? He’s still good as a player and arguably the best cricketer on the side. Is it because he had a new support staff for the Indian team?

Kohlik’s resignation as captain after a major series defeat is disappointing. The fighters don’t give up.

But then Kohli’s captaincy is over. As he takes over, Rohit Sharma will have a difficult road ahead of him.

So why didn’t India conquer South Africa in its backyard after winning the first Centurion test?

Bateo failed as a unit, sewing the ball and bouncing it at a good pace. India lost its clusters, unable to form a partnership.

KL Rahul made a great hundred in the first test and then shrunk when Proteas threw him much closer to his off-stump.

The talented Rishabh Pant scored 100 undefeated rivals in the third test in the Newlands. In the meantime there was no century for India.

Cheteshwar Pujarak and Ajinkya Rahan had their moments, but they couldn’t get a higher score or be more consistent.

If these two top batsmen can’t lift their weight in crucial campaigns, then India can test the youngsters instead.

Hanuma Vihari, strong from the back foot, was impressed with the Wanderers, and Shreyas Iyer made a hundred in the Test debut at home.

India has replacements.

In the low-scoring parts, the contributions of the lower middle order are essential and India did not get enough run here continuously. Ravindra Jadeja lost the strength of the left.

And when they had the opportunity to close the door on South Africa, the Indians let Proteas back.

Kohli’s dismissal left him out of the Newlands in India’s second inning when he was stripping South Africa of the match with Pant, as was the case. India was not ruthless enough.

And Indian tailors could not make the right length to get as much out of these fields in South Africa as possible. Sometimes the bowls were too full.

Twice, the famous bowling unit did not defend the goal of more than 200 and twice did not even approach South Africa. India needs a quality left-arm toy that can add another angle and dimension.

All Anger on the field over DRS He only helped the proteases.

India will have no better chance of reconquering South Africa.
