For perhaps the first time today in this tour, it was India’s middle order that outshined the top order. In the second T20I it wasn’t about Kohli or Dhawan but about Manish Pandey and MS Dhoni. Being asked to bat first by the South African captain India lost Rohit Sharma the very first ball and India seemed in trouble.
Virat Kohli too got out early making a rare blunder. Kohli got out for just 1 while Suresh Raina played a little cameo of 30 runs. But then it was a Manish Pandey and MS Dhoni show.
