MOHALI: As South Africa spinners wreaked havoc on the Indian batting line-up in their second innings of the first cricket Test here, captain Virat Kohli today said it was “errors in shot selection” rather than turn, which led to their collapse.
If Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja turned on the heat against the formidable South African batting, then visiting spinners Imran Tahir, Simon Harmer and Dean Elgar also proved effective on the I S Bindra wicket.
“Yes. I think that was the case. I can comment on our batting. We made errors rather than fear of spin. We made shot judgement errors. We know that it has been committed, it will be reflected upon and corrected, next time we come out to play,” Kohli, who won his first home game as captain, told reporters here.
Kohli also agreed that lack of domestic cricket could have led the players to lose touch with spin bowling. (AGENCIES)
