India vs South Africa 1st ODI: Sanju Samson pushed us at the end, but we stood firm, says Temba Bavuma

Sanju Samson's powerful hitting in the final overs to claim a 9-run victory over India in a rain-curtailed first ODI in Lucknow on Thursday. Samson played one of the most brilliant innings of his international career as he scored an unbeaten 86, but failed to take Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India over the line. The right-handed batter kept the host's hopes alive in the game till the last over, when India needed 30 runs, but as soon as he missed the fourth delivery, the game was over for Men in Blue.

Sanju Samson who made an unbeaten 86 in a losing cause. Chasing a stiff 250-run target in 40 overs in a rain-truncated game, the hosts lost by nine runs. Besides Samson, Shreyas Iyer (50) and Shardul Thakur (33) also played good hands but couldn't take India over the finishing line. "I love spending time at the wicket, especially in India colours. We play to win the match. I fell short by just two shots -- one four and a six. I will try to make up for that in the next match but I am happy with my contribution," Samson said in the post-match press conference.
