cricket-teams/india/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>of India Deputy head coach VVS Laxman praised his players for the fearless approach they have shown during the ongoing four-match T20I series against South Africa. Suryakumar Yadav's side took an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series and are desperate to win the final game to win the series.
India have totaled more than 200 points in two of the three matches played so far, with Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma hitting exhilarating tons in Durban and Centurion respectively. The bowlers also performed commendably, especially mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy. South Africa won the second T20I but the Indian bowlers' considerable skills made a paltry 125-run target seem much bigger.
Laxman claimed that the Indian team tried to entertain the crowd as much as possible, especially on away tours. He also praised fans for making him feel at home with their unwavering passion and support.
“What we have seen in these three games is the fearless approach of this team. Every time we tour a foreign country, we play and try to entertain the audience. And we always feel like we are playing at home,” Laxman said during a reception for the Indian team.
India is preparing for the Johannesburg Test
After three exciting matches, the crucial fourth T20I between India and South Africa will be played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Friday, November 15. The Men in Blue will go into the clash as favorites having looked in better form than the Proteas, who have lost seven of their last nine games in the game's shortest format.
South Africa's batting performance has let them down as bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen is their leading run-getter in the series. Players like captain Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller have to play for the home team.
