Virat Kohli praises Mohammed Shami, KL Rahul, and Mayank Agarwal for their invaluable contribution

The test match was perfectly set up by Indian openers Mayank and KL Rahul who notched up a 100-run stand. Then Mohammed Shami was the chief destroyer in the second innings whose fifer restricted South Africa to a low total and helped India take a sizable lead.

Virat Kohli acknowledged the contributions of these players and claimed that if Bumrah was fit to bowl in the first innings, India would have had the advantage of 40 extra runs.

“Got off to the perfect start. Have to understand one day was washed out – shows how well we played. It’s always a difficult place to play against SA (Centurion). The discipline that the batters showed. Winning the toss, batting first overseas is a tough challenge. Credit to Mayank and KL for the way they set it up. We knew we were in pole position with anything over 300-320. Knew the bowlers will do the job. Spoke about it in the change room – the fact he didn’t bowl much in the first innings, allowed SA to get around 40 more runs (Bumrah).

“Just the way these guys bowl together has been a hallmark of our team getting a result in difficult situations. Absolutely world-class talent (Shami). For me, he’s of the best three seamers in the world at the moment. His strong wrist, his seam position, and his ability to hit a length consistently. Got so much confidence out of Johannesburg last time. It’s a ground we love playing at,” said Kohli in the post-match presentation.

Highlights:

• Virat Kohli waves at his daughter in the stands after India’s emphatic win at Centurion

• Kohli calls Shami one of the best seam bowlers in the world.
