In Wednesday’s third T20I at Centurion, the left-arm fast bowler dismissed Samson in the very first over, just as he had done in Gqeberha during the second encounter of the series. Varma struck Coetzee for two sixes in the first three balls, and eventually took India to 175/4 after 16 overs, laying the perfect foundation for the Indian batters to tee off in the last four overs.
In the fourth ball of the Chakravarthy over, in search of a fourth boundary, Klaasen middled one straight to Suryakumar Yadav at extra cover, but the skipper dropped him – a chance that would have undoubtedly taken the game away from the Proteas. It was a dropped catch that could have lost India the victory.With Klaasen having survived in the 14th over, India could not afford another missed opportunity, and with David Miller alongside Klaasen, India had to take all their chances.
