India skipper Virat Kohli blamed the weather God for making life difficult for his bowlers after they failed to defend a total of 188 against South Africa in the second T20 International in Centurion.
Tough one for the bowlers. We were looking at 175 with the loss of early wickets. Manish and Raina batted well initially. Manish and MS were outstanding to get to 190. I thought that was a winning total. Then the weather made it hard for the bowlers.Virat Kohli
"Credit to the SA batsmen. Klaasen and Duminy really batted well. They were very positive. Good from the spectator point of view," he added.
