The partnership between Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane was a
good one. It was almost like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid batting together
– more about maneuvering the strike
rather than fighting survival or waiting for the big shots to ease the pressure,
a ploy which is most often applied by the batsmen of Twenty20 generation. Be it
in Test cricket or 50-over cricket (I don’t know what happens in Twnety20
cricket so I can’t comment) rotation of the strike and picking up the singles
and twos are extremely valuable than hitting the big boundaries as they prevent
the innings to get stagnant.
South Africa missed the services of Imran Tahir when they needed him the most. Tahir was not introduced further into the attack when Rahane was cashing in during a very critical phase of the Indian innings as because, in my opinion, he was struggling with his form badly – buffets of full tosses and long-hops hinted he was lacking the confidence to strike gold.
Thank You
