Centurion, Feb 22 (UNI) Manish Pandey reckons that his inability to grab opportunities and perform consistently has made it difficult for him to cement a spot in Team India.
With the visitors reeling at 90/4, it was Pandey's 79-run cameo, which helped India to reach a safe total in the second T20I of the three-match series against host South Africa on Wednesday night. The Karnataka batter was well supported by MS Dhoni, who also blasted 52 off just 28 deliveries, and lifted India to 188 in the allotted 20 overs.
Their (Pandey and Dhoni) scintillating show, however, went in vain as the Virat Kohli-led side lost the issue by six wickets and the hosts kept the series alive.
