Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has highlighted the “poor” captaincy skipper from Rishabh Pant in the first T20I against South Africa.
Kaneria was also surprised to see Hardik Pandya getting just one over in the match.
“India lost first T/20 against South Africa. Rishabh Pant leading the team in absence of KL Rahul as he is out of series due to injury,Pant lacked in captaincy defending 211, Pant rotated the bowlers poorly bringing Chahal in power-play not good option when Axar better option and rotation of fast bowler overs and giving Hardik just one over. Miller form continues as he was amazing in IPL for Gujrat Titans for lifting First trophy,” Kaneria said on the KOO app.
Talking about the match, chasing 212 South Africa lost wickets at regular intervals and were 81/3 when Miller and van der Dussen came in for the rescue.
South Africa have taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
