SA vs IND: Mark Boucher Praises Keegan Petersen; Says 'I Am Just At Loss For Words'
South Africa head coach Mark Boucher was at a loss for words in appreciating Keegan Petersen's performance in the 2-1 series win over India on Friday. In the decider Test, Petersen was superb in making 72 in the first innings and followed it up with a sublime 82 in the second innings to set the base for a successful chase of 212 for the hosts'.
Apart from winning the Player of the match, Petersen was adjudged 'Player of the Series' for being the highest run-scorer in the three-match series by amassing 276 runs in six innings at an average of 46. "You get two youngsters (Petersen and Marco Jansen) who have just come into the side. Both of them deserve their little spotlights. Keegan didn't start off in the West Indies like the way he might have wanted to, and then he didn't start off too well at SuperSport Park. But he has always shown signs of the player that we are seeing right now," said Boucher in the post-match press conference.
