Later, after the match, Petersen revealed how conditions at Cape Town were testing, and just like a good batter he was only ‘trying to be positive’. He said:

“It hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s a mixed bag to be honest. Happy, emotional. I was trying to be positive and then build on that. It’s been difficult conditions all around and was just sticking to my guns. It’s been a long journey, can’t tell the whole story now, won’t be over till tomorrow morning. It’s been challenging surfaces, challenging bowling attacks,” he said.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and head coach, Ravi Shastri took to his Twitter and penned down a special Tweet for the Man of the Match, Keegan Petersen for his terrific knock. In his Tweet, Shastri expressed how Keegan reminds him of his childhood hero Gundappa Vishwanath. Shastri wrote:

“Keegan Peterson (KP). Excellent initials (@KP24). A great world player in the making. My childhood hero Gundappa Vishwanath comes to mind #SAvIND”
