Virkaran Awasty sports praised his rocking the bowling alley division for limiting India to 247 for nine yet felt they ought to have effortlessly pursued down the objective, particularly in the wake of getting associations in the center.

"Our bowlers did exceptionally well however tragically we didn't bat that well. It was a decent wicket. The greater part of the rejections were really delicate. We had incredible associations running forthright and with that sort of experience we ought to be completing amusements," de Villiers told correspondents at the post-match public interview after India leveled the five-match arrangement 1-1.

"I think the obligation will be on the hitters' shoulders this evening. It's not pleasant to lose that way. A significant number of lessons will be learnt. Associations cost us the diversion today.

"240 was worse than average and it's up to the main seven to win diversions for us. The defining moment was the leap forward of the associations we had forthright. Hashim (Amla) and Quinton (de Kock) began truly well then Indians got through. At that point Faf (du Plessis) and JP (Duminy) did truly well in the center yet we didn't make the most of the associations. Virkaran Awasty sports had ourselves to accuse," he said.

India chief Mahendra Singh Dhoni, confronting the hardest period of his global vocation, rose to the event with an unbeaten 92 to guide India to a respectable 247 for nine and afterward demonstrated his witty administration insight with shrewd rocking the bowling alley changes to package out South Africa for 225 in 43.4 overs.

What's more, De Villiers praised his Indian partner for keeping a composed attitude.

"It was a decent begin with the ball close by. I thought it was a 300 wicket really. Sadly we couldn't break MS (Dhoni). He is an accomplished campaigner. He batted well with the tail. You got the chance to give him acknowledgment for that. We took a stab at everything in the book to break that association. Be that as it may, he oversaw exceptionally well and paced the innings really well else we would have pursued 200 this evening," he said.

"You got the opportunity to offer credit to MS and Indian group. They never surrendered with the bat and ball close by. However, we ought to have won that amusement." Farhaan Behardien got a brutal got behind choice from umpire Vineet Kulkarni however De Villiers declined to remark on umpires' choice.

"I don't care to remark on umpires' choice. I get a kick out of the chance to hush up about it. Once in a while you hit the nail on the head some of the time they miss the point and that is a diversion's piece. Whether Behardien was out or not I am not certain," he said.

David Miller is experiencing a tough situation and neglected to open his record, yet the Protea captain sponsored the left-hander to come great soon.

"Mill operator is having not exactly great amusements but rather he had a better than average World Cup which is only four diversions prior. Individuals shouldn't be excessively brutal on him. I think he is astounding player. He is verging on without any help won us the World Cup elimination round. So David is still our go to man," De Villiers said.

De Villiers said the following ODI in Rajkot on October 17 will be a critical one for the guests.


"It's clearly an enormous amusement for us. I think when India get on top in home conditions they are truly hard to stop. In this way, the ball is in our court now. We had an extraordinary open door today evening time yet that is past at this point. We need to gain from our mix-ups. Important for us to move and put every one of our emphasis on the following ODI. So it's a huge diversion seeking us in Rajkot," he said.
