South African all-rounder AB de Villiers on Thursday showered praise on India’s lively pace attack and said the visitor’s pace bowling surprised him. The Proteas took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three- match series with comprehensive wins in Cape Town and Centurion.
“India have really impressed me. They have surprised us in terms of pace bowling. They have showed a lot more skill and definitely there is a lot more pace than we expected,” de Villiers said.
“It was just an all-round good team performance. I am obviously enjoying my cricket and loving it out there with the boys. It has been a great couple of Test matches,” he said.
De Villiers has the most runs in the series so far, scoring 200 in four innings inclusive of two match defining half-centuries at Cape Town and Centurion.
