India tour of South Africa

Superb innings from Pandey! Shuts his detractors who called him a batsman who is not fit for T20's.

180 a possibility here. Time for Dhoni to bring his bat down on anything and everything. With Pandya still to come, nothing to lose for Dhoni.

People who called him that have not seen his awesome performance in IPL and that too with consistency. I will say a good knock by Dhoni as well. 23 ball 35 is a good score.

@abhi_jacko You see my point about giving Dhoni some time before he can explode?

 

[SaiSrini]

Mahi on a rampage!!! Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah...... 170+ was ideal at one point, now 190 looks to be the total India might achieve.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Only the 2nd fifty in his T20 career. What a knock, 54 balls 96 runs partnership!

Mr Shashtri. Atleast now draft Pandey to ODI team ! It was a tough pitch yet he scores. He will be a freaking solid batsmen in ODI.

Was lucky to catch the live streaming after a long time, loved Pandey's solid knock that guy should be given more chances in both ODI and T20 squad and always been a fan of MSD since I can't even recall, happy I was able to catch that on TV. Confident our bowlers would be able to defend the total but rain may well kick in!

Maahii! Score is temp, the chant is permanent!

 

[Villain]

And Raina did fine too..

@abhi_jacko You see my point about giving Dhoni some time before he can explode?

Ofcourse I do friend. I never denied it

The problem happens when the momentum is already in our favor. Continuing the momentum can be an issue when more than one player needs time to settle (Pandey, MSD, Kohli)

Regardless, watching Dhoni smoke the ball all over the ground like this gave me goosebumps Maybe this is a resurrection of the legend of Mahi. Fingers crossed for consistent showings like this

And how good was Pandey. He is one guy who can carry the innings on his shoulders. Was delighted to see him come good in a big way

 

[abhi_jacko]

What an over from Thakur ... lol. More slower balls than fast ones. Mighty effective

 

[Satan666]

SA should take this easy!

Brilliant performances from two players who were criticised for nothing! I have always said Pandey is a solid bat, today is the proof. And for MSD no proof was needed. I am delighted he scored the way he did today. Send him up the order, he can do the same in ODIs. I was actually hoping wickets fall and MSD comes in at half time. That happened and luckily this game being at this time of the day, I could watch it live on TV. It feels amazing to see Dhoni play like this, that six he hit in the off side, absolute class!

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Jeez, Pandey 5 and Raina 6 will add the oomph we need lower down. I also am convinced it will free up Pandya and take some pressure off him for being the only hitter.

 

[Gaurav_7]

This Klaasen guy looks seriously good. He is effortlessly striking it big and making it look really easy atm.

Very happy for SA. They've found a superstar in my opinion. More than the shots the bloke has a ticker about him and international cricket is more about the mind than anything else.
