South Africa batter still in awe of his superlative batting vs India

South Africa batter Keegan Petersen has said he is still in awe of his superlative batting show in the recently concluded Test series against India where he was the leading run-scorer.

Petersen impressed everyone with his top-class batting technique and played crucial knock at times when needed.

“It hasn’t completely sunk in yet. I still can’t explain how it feels completely despite it being two days already. Myself, my family and everyone close to us are still trying to get over it somehow. It was a challenging series against one of the best bowling attacks in the world. It was by far the most challenging bowling I have come across in my career, whether it’s been in first-class cricket or any form of cricket,” Petersen was quoted as saying on the official website of Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Monday.

The No.3 batter scored half-centuries in both the innings of the third Test.

“It hasn’t been an easy introduction for me to international cricket, but I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. My journey’s unique and it’s my story to tell as well. Whether I bat in the first couple of overs or whether I bat after 50 overs, I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to be there, playing amongst a group of guys who are also trying to start something new in South African cricket. We are also trying to tell a new story as a team together as well.”

South Africa beat India in 3-match Test series 2-1.

The focus will now shift to the ODI series that will begin from January 19 in Paarl.

BCCI also shared pictures of the ODI team practicing ahead of the start of the series.

KL Rahul will lead India in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
