Tendulkar credits SA batting for deciding ODI win

Retired batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar today heaped wholesome praise on the superb batting exhibition put up by South Africa, especially their captain A B de Villliers in the deciding fifth and final One-Day International against India last Sunday here.

“I felt that South Africa batted really well. I wouldn’t want to take away the credit away from Quinton de Kock, du Plessis and de Villiers. I thought de Villiers batted really well,” said Tendulkar at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s BKC ground after his first net session in a long time.
