Top-knocks
by
Rassie
van
der
Dussen
and
David
Miller
took
South
Africa
to
a
seven-wicket
over
India,
in
the
first
T20I,
here
at
the
Arun
Jaitely
Stadium.
“Myself
having
watched
a
lot
of
IPL
games,
having
not
got
much
of
an
opportunity
to
play,
(I)
had
a
pretty
good
idea
of
what
their
bowlers
would
do
and
the
conditions
(at
hand),”
Rassie
van
der
Dussen
said
in
the
post-match
press
conference.
Van
der
Dussen
smashed
an
unbeaten
75
off
46
balls
while
David
Miller
scored
an
unbeaten
64
off
31
balls
to
guide
Proteas
to
a
historical
run
chase.
The
33-year-old
was
part
of
the
Rajasthan
Royals’ team
this
year
and
featured
in
three
matches
for
the
Sanju
Samson-led
side.
“I
spent
two
months
here,
been
in
the
conditions,
been
in
the
heat,
so
I
had
adapted
to
that
and
that
goes
to
everyone.
We
had
a
lot
of
guys
in
the
IPL
this
year
and
that
helped
us
in
the
first
game
to
adapt
quickly
and
get
over
the
line,” he
added.
Furthermore,
Van
der
Dussen
heaped
praise
on
David
Miller,
said
the
in-form
left-hander
helped
relieve
the
pressure
on
him
after
his
slow
start.
Miller
completely
dominated
Indian
bowlers
as
he
brought
the
good
form
that
he
showcased
with
Gujarat
Titans
in
IPL
2022.
Miller
He
hammered
Indian
spinners,
especially
Axar
Patel
and
concluded
his
blistering
innings
with
an
unbeaten
64
off
just
31
balls.
“David
just
brought
his
form
from
the
IPL
straight
into
this
game.
He
put
the
bowlers
under
pressure
from
the
start,” Van
der
Dussen
said.
“He
played
brilliant
innings
and
also
just
helped
pull
me
through
that
difficult
phase
of
my
innings.
Once
he
hit
those
consecutive
sixes,
the
momentum
shifted
our
way,”
he
added.
South
Africa
have
taken
a
1-0
lead
in
the
five-match
series.
