New Delhi. KL Rahul was made the captain (caretaker) of Team India for the ODI series against South Africa in place of Rohit Sharma, but in his very first series he made a very poor record in his name. Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, India lost the three-match ODI series against South Africa. South Africa won all three matches and cleaned India. KL Rahul has now become the first ODI captain of India to have lost in his first three ODIs. At the same time, South Africa also cleaned up India for the first time in the ODI series.
KL Rahul said – the tour was very good
There was no spark in the captaincy of KL Rahul against South Africa and Temba Bavuma dominated them. Under Rahul’s captaincy, India lost all three matches and also lost the title. India lost by 31 runs in the first match, by 7 wickets in the second match and by 4 runs in the third ODI. At the same time, after the loss in the third ODI, KL Rahul said that because of Deepak Chahar, it seemed that we would win this match, but in the end we got defeated. We gave ourselves a real chance, something we can learn from and get better at. In this match it was very clear where we went wrong.
Rahul further said that I have no hesitation in saying that at times our shot selection was poor. Even with the ball, we are not hitting the right places consistently. We have played well but haven’t been able to build pressure for a long time. We can’t blame the players for their effort. Sometimes we go wrong in understanding the skill and the situation. It happens and some players are new to the team. We have been making the same mistakes many times in the ODI series. This is the beginning of our journey to the World Cup. We’re going to go back and talk about the shortcomings. We had a really good time in South Africa and we also put up a good fight.
