South Africa vs India 2018, 2nd T20I: Things which went wrong for the visitors

#1 Heinrich Klaasen's heroics

Heinrich Klaasen, the hero of South Africa's pink ODI win against India, was promoted up in the batting order as the hosts lost openers Reeza Hendricks and JJ Smuts inside first 5 overs

Chasing a stiff target of 189 with rain threat looming large, the Proteas needed an explosive innings from Klaasen to keep them ahead of the D/L par score and for the second time in his short career the wicket-keeper stood and delivered.

Klaasen brought up his maiden half-century off just 20 balls as he hit 7 sixes and 3 fours while scoring his runs at a whopping strike rate of 230.

The Indian bowlers looked shell-shocked against South Africa's find of the tour as he blasted 69 off 30 balls leaving the Proteas with a sniff of victory as light rain tumbled down in Pretoria.

"It's really special, at my home ground - it was something I dreamt of as a kid. [About his various sweeps] Not a wicketkeeper thing, you just gotta put the bowler under pressure and show them your skills. I've got a cool, calm head at the moment and I'm pleased with my cricket over the last year and a half", Man of the Match Klaasen said at the post-match ceremony.
