Coach Rahul Dravid has said he hopes Virat Kohli will play for India in the final and third Test against South Africa in Durban.
India failed …
India lose by 7 wickets in the 2nd Test against South Africa in Johannesburg. Captain Kohli did not bat in this Test match due to back pain. Hanuma Vihari was added in his place. KL Rahul took charge of the captaincy.
Is fine …
In an interview after the match, coach Rahul Dravid said, “Virat Kohli is in good health. He batted in web training for a while. I hope the goalie will play in the 3rd Test in Cape Town. By the time I heard that, I had talked to Collie and he was back to normal. “
Failure …
The Wanderers pitch is challenging for both teams. The nature of the pitch changed every day. The South Africans batted well in their 4th innings. There are some things to focus on when it comes to the batting of the Indian team. Once a good partnership is established it should be maintained for a long time. The first inning was very challenging, failing to add even 60 runs to the partnership.
Big score …
Yet we could have batted a little better. Players who can play well should get a good start and try to convert it into hundreds. This is the difference between the first match and the second match. Rahul’s century gave us the biggest score. Elgar’s 96 was the only victory for South Africa.
Vihar’s batting …
Hanuma Vihari bowled well in both the innings and batting brilliantly in the 2nd innings. Sreyas Iyer has also batted well in the past. Young players perform better whenever opportunities arise. Vihar’s batting was promising.
To win …
We will not be comforted by this match, we must win. The 240-run target is not normal to be defended on this pitch and can only be defended with great luck ”. Thus said Dravid.
