In any game, losing and winning are two things that have to be faced consistently. Consecutive victories add to the excitement of the next game. But if you are going to lose consistently, you need a lot of mental ability to play the next game. What if we start losing again? We have to get ready to play again, keeping in mind the optimism that we will definitely succeed without thinking like this. With this positive sentiment, the Indian cricket team is ready to play its 3rd match against South Africa again.
After the defeat in the first two matches with South Africa, Virat Kohli did not leave the expectations. He is still in the process of improving the game and walking with the strategy that has to be re-plan for this game.
In the 2nd ODI, India was on 287/6 and South Africa won the match by 7 wickets with 11 balls remaining. It was the fourth match in a row that India has lost. But India chased very well with all the 7 wickets. Rishabh Pant did well. Now it is an opportunity for Kohli and the rest of the team to end the tour with the century for which he had dreamt of.
