Quinton was very lucky: Ishant

Published on: 

 Quinton de Kock might have impressed the entire world with his three back-to-back centuries, but Indian pacer Ishant Sharma feels the South African opener had been a bit ‘lucky’ in the just concluded ODI series.

“It’s good for him that he got runs. But I think he was very lucky, especially today,” opined Ishant.

“In all three matches, he has given top edges which have gone through gaps, half chances all of them. And today he was dropped twice.”

“Everyone looks at how many matches we have played, but if you can see the average age, we are young in that respect as a bowling unit. Everyone is learning. We make mistakes, and we learn, trying to keep things simple. It becomes easier then,” he added, talking about the improvement in the team’s bowling performance as the series progressed.
