Disappointed but not demoralised by the thrashing India got in the Twenty20 Internationals against South Africa, Team Director Ravi Shastri promised a strong comeback in the ODI series and said the experience from recent losses would be handy during next year’s ICC World Twenty20.
The third Twenty20 between India and South Africa was called off on Thursday night without a ball being bowled because of a wet outfield, giving the Proteas a 2-0 series win.
“I’m disappointed with the result as anybody would be. We play to win. But it’s not that it will give me sleepless nights. It has taught me a lot as well going forward into the World Twenty20,” Shastri said in the press conference after the abandoned tie.
“First one was close, in the second game we were outplayed. I don’t want to give any excuses. As a unit we have played very little T20 cricket in bilateral series.”
