India Cricket Team might have lost the IND vs SA 2nd T20I, but skipper Suryakumar Yadav was impressed with the opposition. The Proteas side chased down the revised target in less than 15 overs to seal a 5 wicket win to take a 1–0 lead in the 3 match T20I series.
“At the halfway stage, I thought it was a par score but they batted beautifully in the first 5-6 overs and took the game away from us. It was the brand of cricket we were talking about, just go out and express ourselves,” said Suryakumar Yadav after the match.
SKY was visually impressed in the tremendous fashion by which the South African side started the run chase. Batting first India scored 180/7 in 19.3 overs before rain brought an early end to proceedings.

With the first game abandoned and SA taking a dominant 1-0 lead, Inda will look to comeback strongly in the final game of the series and tie the series with a similar approach in the next game.
