In the on-going six-match ODI series between India and South Africa, after losing the first three matches of the six-match ODI series, South Africa bounced back in the tournament in the fourth ODI with their five-wicket win over India on Saturday.
Talking about the defeat, Indian skipper Virat Kohli expressed his disappointment over two crucial errors by the Men-in-Blue that cost them the Pink ODI at the Wanderers Stadium.
In the match, David Miller escaped twice in one over at a crucial time when visitors had taken control of the match.

“You have to take your chances in this game,” said Kohli, adding, “It basically became a T20 game.”
“We did not grab our chances so we did not deserve to win,” Kohli added.
Meanwhile, Proteas skipper Aiden Markram said, “It was nice to put some pressure on the Indians. The message today was to put fear aside.”
