“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.”
