"Proud of my boys who gave themselves a chance"- India captain Suryakumar Yadav after loss vs South Africa in the 2nd T20I

At the post-match presentation, Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav reflected on the loss, saying:

"You always have to back whatever total you have got, just said the same, don't think too much and just go out there and enjoy. In a T20 game, you don't want to finish on 125 and go out there to defend. But, proud of my boys who gave themselves a chance.

Applauding Varun Chakaravarthy for his sensation spell, Surya continued:

"In a T20 game, someone getting a fifer, defending 125, it's a credible achievement, he's been working hard on his bowling, tries to make the difference whenever he bowls, I'm sure he enjoyed his outing. Two games to go, lot of entertainment left, going in there will be lots of fun."

The two teams will square off in the third T20I on Wednesday (November 13) at St SuperSport Park in Centurion.
