Outgoing Kaizer Chiefs defender Daniel Cardoso has revealed that players arrived at training "under the influence of alcohol" during his time at the Soweto giants.
Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, whose three-wicket haul helped Team India defeat South Africa in the third T20I, revealed how he redeemed his bowling from the previous two games. All-round performance by India helped them in defeating South Africa by 48 runs in the third T20I of five-match series at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. "I bowled a lot of sliders and bowled quicker in the previous matches. Today, I changed my seam position. Spinning and getting the ball to dip are my strengths. Today I tried to get it to turn and bowl slower. I tried to bowl to my strengths, I focused on that," said Chahal in a post-match presentation.
Confusion reigns over Madosh Tambwe's eligibility for the Springboks following differing messages from the two respective camps.
Amit Mishra is known for giving the cricket ball a good tweak when bowling his leg spinners and googlies. The veteran bowlers has been quite active on social media off late and his posts have a similar spin to them most often than not. On Tuesday Mishra posted a hilarious tweet on Hardik Pandya, after the latter streaky innings with the bat helped India post 179 on the board against South Africa, which eventually turned out to be a winning score in the third T20I in Visakhapatnam.
Delighted that his team was finally able to execute its plan to perfection, India skipper Rishabh Pant emphasised on the importance of spinners performing well in the middle overs, especially in Indian conditions. The Indian spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel bowled beautifully to help the hosts register a 48-run win over South Africa in the third T20I and stay alive in the five-match series. "The execution was spot-on from the bowlers and the batters. We were 15 runs short, but we weren't thinking about that. Bowlers did a fantastic job for us," Pant said at the post-match presentation.
He hasn't been able to translate his IPL form into national colours but India opener Ruturaj Gaikwad is not too worried as for him it is all about "staying consistent mentally" and "trusting the process". The 25-year-old from Maharashtra has amassed 1207 runs in 36 IPL matches so far but managed just 120 in six T20Is, including the maiden fifty that he scored in the third T20 against South Africa here on Tuesday. Asked if life is on the edge for him, Gaikwad said: "Not really on the edge, it is just part and parcel of the sport.
Cuttack but they bounced back in style with a 48-run win. Opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was under pressure, took the bull by its horns and gave India a flying start. What did he do differently on Tuesday night? "Nothing. I felt the wicket was slightly better than the last two games. In the previous games, the ball was stopping a bit when batting first. Batting on this wicket was nice as the ball was coming on to the bat well. So, I changed nothing much with my process etc as my thought process and everything else was the same. I felt the wicket here was on the better side," he said with a smile after the match.
