We had enough on board but failed in execution while bowling: Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant feels his team lacked execution with the ball despite putting enough runs on the board to suffer a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of South Africa in the first T20 on Thursday. After putting on a huge 211 for four riding on Ishan Kishan's 76, the Indian bowlers cut a sorry figure as South Africa achieved their highest T20 run-chase to end India's 12-match winning streak in the format. Rassie van der Dussen (75 not out) and David Miller (64 not out) shared unbeaten 131 runs for the fourth wicket to hand the visitors an easy win.

Rassie van der Dussen said the experience of South African players in the IPL helped them defeat India by seven wickets in the first Twenty20 international on Thursday. Van der Dussen (75) and David Miller (64) put on 131 for the fourth wicket to drive the team's chase of 212 in 19.1 overs and lead the five-match series 1-0 in New Delhi. South Africa achieved their highest T20 run chase to end India's bid to register a record 13th successive win in the format.

Rishabh Pant would have believed that his first game as India captain was a perfect one. Then David Miller happened. Needing 126 runs in 10 overs to chase down the 212-run target set by India, Miller and Rassie van der Dussen finished with an unbeaten 131-run partnership and ending India’s streak of T20I wins with five balls to spare. Miller, with his unbeaten 31-ball 64, has shown he is in a zone where he can chase down any target with consummate ease as he has been doing over the past two months for Gujarat Titans in the IPL.

Shreyas Iyer’s dropped a sitter off Dussen’s bat at deep mid-wicket when he was on 25 and he ensured the Indian team rued it big time.
