IND vs SA: the credit for winning the century test goes to kl rahul and mayank agarwal says virat kohli
India’s skipper Virat Kohli recognized top KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal for laying the foundation for India’s massive 113-race victory over South Africa at SuperSport Park. Furthermore, he praised fast bowler Mohammed Shami, saying that he is currently one of the top three fast bowlers in world cricket. Rahul and Mayank shared a 117-run partnership for a total of 327 in the first innings, helping India take a 130-run lead, maintaining a solid position throughout the match.
After the game, Kohli said: “The discipline shown by the hitters is really commendable as it is a difficult challenge to hit first after winning the toss. From the way Mayank and Rahul played, the credit for this victory goes to them. We knew we would be in a better position after scoring over 300-320. “
Kohli is happy that India won the first round at Centurion, considered a strength for South Africa.
“We needed a good start, which they gave us first. It is always a challenge to play here, but getting results in four days shows how well we played,” he added.
Kohli was confident that Indian bowlers could take advantage of 20 terrains in South Africa to win the match. Despite Jasprit Bumrah being unavailable for a long time in the first match, taking the hosts out by less than 200 in the two innings of the match was a great achievement.
The 33-year-old praised pacemaker Mohammed Shami, who posted a total of 8/107, including 5/44 in the first innings, and became the fifth Indian fast pitcher to reach 200 testing grounds.
“Shami is an absolutely world-class bowler, one of the top three bowlers in the world to me. His strong wrists, his sewing position and his consistently long bowling all demonstrate his skill,” he added.
