Honestly, after watching the match the only thing I am willing to say is I am not so sure about the team selection being wrong. The only thing that comes to my mind, again and again, is the Gamble which was taken by Rohit Sharma by giving the ball to Ashwin.
Two sixes at the start of that over absolutely took the match away from India.
People might argue that India still had a chance but that was the biggest turning point of the match. That made South Africa take things very easy from that point. No, I am not saying that the selections were all good. Unfortunately, in the end, it came down to some wrong captaincy.
There is no doubt in subcontinent we have similarity in too many things even many wills not agreed with my view, but this is fact here if you want to play big teams then you have to be buttercup instead of talented or quality player so same happening KL Rahul is the quality player without any doubt but when you have better replacement, and he is not performing then you have to give some chance other player as well, but they are not looking in this way same happening in Pakistan team.
Where few players are not good and performance is also below average, but they are still in team and having good back just because of personal relationship and because of their nature which is never been good but happening for many decades because I am personally watching and having many examples for this all.
