This was not a patta and SA have good bowlers..our approach had to be cautious after Gobar did Gobar..Kohli went into an inexplicable shell.It was 54-2.Sharma had to play this innings. If we are to win this WC,we cannot concede 300 at all. Kohli is not the chasemaster anymore.

don't stain your chaddis.   Not all wickets will be like this.  And India batted very conservatively to prevent SA from even having a sniff.  This was a 275 wicket, with serious bounce and some seam. 

 

We will be ok for scores up to 330 or so.  Anything north of that, and .....

Good win for India, but this batting approach will not work when chasing 250+ on such surface let alone 300. 

Kohli is no longer the chase master he was back in 2012-2014. Him and Rahul's knocks were so puke worthy. Situation didn't demand to bat THAT slow.

This is exactly how all ODIs should be like where 270 is a match winning score. Take away 2 new ball rule and free hit too!

Hitman sharma used all his luck today,i guess he won't be this lucky in remaining matches

But,he cashed in , that's all that counts

WHat luck man. First chance very tough he hardly took it. Next drop was after 100. You cannot consider ball falling in noman's land as luck.  Luck was what ROot and Hafeez got.
