India vs South Africa, 1st T20I: List Of Award Winners, Man Of The Match, Scoreboard, Post-Match Presentation

The
foundation
for
India’s
smooth
win
was
laid
by
their
new
ball
pacers
Arshdeep
Singh
and
Deepak
Chahar.

The
India
pacers
generated
excellent
swing
at
this
venue,
where
the
pitch
also
offered
some
carry,
to
reduce
the
SA
to
9
for
5
in
no
time.

It
is
always
tough
to
recover
from
such
situations
and
South
Africa
did
not
either.
In
the
end,
the
Proteas
managed
to
scrape
past
the
100-run
mark.

By
any
stretch
of
imagination,
it
was
not
a
target
to
challenge
the
India
batters
but
a
spot
on
bowling
attack
and
a
slightly
two-paced
wicket
meant
India
had
to
work
hard
for
their
runs
while
chasing.

However,
they
accomplished
the
task
without
too
much
ado.

Here’s
the
full
list
of
awards,
man
of
the
match
and
post-match
presentation
details
of
the
India
vs
South
Africa
1st
T20I.

Temba
Bavuma,
SA
Captain:
“As
a
batting
unit
we
failed
to
apply
ourselves
in
those
conditions.
We
didn’t
expect
the
pitch
to
play
this
way.
Yes
we
expected
it
to
be
spicy
but
normally
you
will
be
able
to
hit
through
the
line
in
this
part
of
the
world.
Seamers
needed
runs
behind
then
to
defend.
They
tried
their
best
and
supported
by
spinners
as
well.
I
thought
we
fought
well
late
with
the
bat.
That’s
a
positive.”

KL
Rahul,
India
batter:
“Definitely,
right
up
there
in
terms
of
being
a
tough
pitch.
We
have
played
in
some
difficult
conditions
like
this
but
I
haven’t
got
runs,
so
this
was
hard
work.
It
was
unbelievable
for
Surya
to
come
out
there
and
play
those
shots,
we
have
seen
how
balls
were
flying,
nipping
around,
two-paced
and
everything
that
can
be
hard
for
a
batter
that
was
the
wicket
today,
and
for
Surya
to
come
with
that
approach
after
the
first
ball
that
hit
him,
he
just
woke
up
and
wanted
to
play
his
shots,
be
aggressive
and
take
on
the
bowling.

That
helped
me
take
my
time
and
play
one
end.
We
did
practice
here
yesterday
and
that
was
a
humbling
experience
as
well,
we
all
came
in
prepared
mentally
as
it
was
not
going
to
be
an
easy
wicket
and
I
was
ready
to
do
the
dirty
work,
ready
to
be
challenged
and
get
the
job
done
for
the
team.

He’s
(Arshdeep)
growing
with
each
game
and
with
each
outing
he
gets
better,
he
is
somebody
who
has
a
big
heart
and
I
have
seen
him
in
close
quarters
while
playing
in
the
IPL.
This
season
what
he
did
for
his
franchise
was
phenomenal
and
to
be
the
number
one
death
bowler
in
a
team
which
has
Rabada
speaks
highly
of
him.
We
always
want
a
left-arm
seamer
and
it
is
great
to
have
someone
like
Arshdeep.”

Rohit
Sharma,
India
Captain:
“The
wicket
was
tricky.
You
learn
a
lot
playing
such
a
game.
It
was
nice
to
play
a
game
like
that.
We
knew
the
bowlers
will
get
something
seeing
grass
on
the
pitch,
but
we
didn’t
expected
help
for
the
full
20
overs.
It
was
still
damp.
Both
teams
were
in
contest
and
the
team
that
played
better
won
the
game.

“We
started
well,
got
5
wickets
in
quick
time
and
that
was
the
turning
point.
Perfect
showcase
of
how
to
bowl
when
there
is
help
for
the
pacers.
We
knew
it
wasn’t
going
to
be
easy.
Got
to
respect
the
conditions.
Lost
two
wickets
and
that
partnership
between
KL
and
Surya”

Arshdeep
Singh,
Man
of
The
Match:
“I
enjoyed
the
wicket
of
David
Miller
a
lot
because
I
dismissed
him
with
an
in-swinger
after
bowling
a
couple
of
out
swingers.
I
got
some
rest
during
the
Australia
series,
and
worked
on
certain
areas
at
the
NCA.
Now,
I
feel
better
and
refreshed.
Hopefully,
I
can
continue
to
contribute
to
the
team’s
success.”
