Ball is old and dead now so hitting will be much harder and 5 fielders out.
He needed to hit over the top between overs 30 and 40 -when it was relatively easier to do.

Totally! from both sides

Not a pitch now where you can play shots and get away with it. Watch SKY fails here if he tries to go at it. Iyer and KL Rahul both tried to hit it out and looped it. No need for Kohli to go for the slog and India falling short of 300

He's not really tuktukd tbh, he's trying to hit and failing. Just cant get his timing right at all.
Showing intent isn't hard though. Rahul was just blocking even against the struggling shamsi. I bet SKY would've taken him to cleaners

people were crying about him not scoring anyway when in poor form
well here it is

Whatever it takes!!!
I think the difference has been that Virat has been trying and failing. Rahul did not seem to be even trying till the ball he got out. That is definitely unforgiveable.
Individual playing for personal mile stone.

Pretty slow and tacky pitch tbh. RSA may well rue how loose they were in the first 10. Could well be the determining factor in the game.

SKY needs to farm the strike

And one thing that should not be forgotten here is how good RSA's fielding has been. They have easily saved 20-25 runs IMO and that is just the actual runs they have saved. Shreyas, for example, was kept on strike by some good fielding for 2 of the 4 balls he dotted against Ngidi and that directly led to his dismissal.
He should have been sent at the fall of Iyer wicket. Unlike Rahul he wouldn't have wasted 3 over remaining with only 4 fielders allowed at the boundary.
Very good fielding by SA, every one fielded good except for shamsi!

There have been some tactically bad calls at the toss this tournament, but I reckon India batting first here is actually right up there.
Not because it gave them a worse chance of winning - the opposite is true - but because it really gave SA a chance to expel their chasing demons. Having SA going into a final against India without having actually won a single game batting second would be a great mind****. Might still happen but they've decreased the chances of it now.
EDIT: Actually they did beat Pak but they almost ****ed it up in a glorious fashion anyway.
