Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal Played Well, Toss A Large Factor In Game’s Outcome, Says Keshav Maharaj

South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj on October 3 said that his team’s strategy didn’t prove fruitful for them as the side has a task on their hands when they come to bat. “We knew that in the first innings, the wicket was going to be very flat, obviously the wicket would deteriorate from there. But having said that, it did not go according to the plan in terms of not controlling the run-rate. We have a task in hand in batting as long as possible,” Maharaj said. He also said that his team didn’t bowl badly, it was Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal’s brilliance that took the game from the Proteas. "I wouldn't say they bowled poorly. I personally judge if someone comes down the wicket and hits you, it's not a bad ball. If you are getting hit from the crease, if you are getting cut, then it's a different story," said Maharaj, after day two of the first Test.
