According to NDTV, Sanjay Manjrekar said, ‘Talking about that innings, Hardik Pandya was the most aggressive batsman who played two balls. I believe that the Indian team batted very well and due to Virat Kohli’s innings we reached a very good position. These people performed very well but the bowlers bowled very well.’ My Player of the Match award should have been given to a bowler: Sanjay Manjrekar The former player further said, ‘At one time India was in a position of defeat and South Africa had won 90% of the match. Virat Kohli batted very well and played an important innings for his team but the bowlers gave India the victory. They bowled brilliantly in the end and gave India the victory.’ Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team performed very well throughout the tournament and did not lose even a single match.
