India skipper KL Rahul marvelled at the ability of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to make the opposition look “silly” after the stalwarts came up with defining knocks against South Africa in the first ODI here on Sunday.
Kohli made his 52nd ODI hundred, a 120-ball 135, and Rohit a well-crafted 57 as India celebrated a tight 17-run win over the Proteas to take 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
“Watching Rohit and Kohli play like that is always fun. They’ve made oppositions look silly and show why they are who they are. I’ve seen this for a long time, it’s a lot more fun to see them around in the dressing room,” said Rahul in the post-match presentation.
However, the close nature of the match made him a bit nervous towards the end.
“I’d be lying if I said there were no butterflies in my stomach. We’re playing ODI cricket after a while. There’s some expectation.
“But we kept taking wickets and the bowlers stuck to their plans. They pushed us and kept coming hard.”
