#1 Vital run outs
Ravi Shastri cliched dialogue goes something like this: “At the end of the day, cricket was the real winner.” For this game, however, it was only India with the help of some impressive run outs. Virat Kohli used five bowlers tonight, but they could take up only seven wickets among themselves.
Run outs, on the other hand, had three victims. Two among them were South Africa’s most powerful hitters, AB de Villiers and David Miller. These two batsmen are capable of saving any game from any given situation.
Not only that, their presence till the 50th over guarantees a huge score, something that could have turned the game against India. But due to some extremely good work in the field, both of these batsmen were dismissed before they could have done any damage.
