India’s disastrous tour of South Africa continues as the Proteas beat India by seven wickets in the second ODI to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
India made 287 for six after opting to bat. Rishabh Pant top scored for India with 85 off 71 balls while skipper K L Rahul made 55 off 79 balls.
Spinner Tabraiz Shami was the pick of the South Africa bowlers taking two wickets for 57 runs in nine overs.
South Africa chased down the target in 48.1 overs. Janneman Malan was the home team’s top-scorer with 91 off 108 while his senior opening partner Quinton de Kock made 78 off 66 balls.
For the second game in a row, the Indian bowling lacked teeth to trouble the opposition batters.
After the match, fans took to twitter to blame Rahul Dravid as head coach, some asking questions on what is the way forward for Indian cricket. Others said that Dravid has his task cut out to uplift the team which is facing many issues, including the middle order woes.
Here’s how Dravid started trending on social media after India’s loss in second ODI against South Africa:
If “Overrated” word had a face.

Not a Good Headache for #RahulDravid as a Head Coach for __. Lot to ponder about the things with the two ICC tournaments in the queue and India’s white unit looks way too unsettled.This needs a huge change and could be a very tough challenge in front of him.#SAvIND | #SAvsIND

Dear #RahulDravid an important member is missing from this #TeamIndia – Killer Instinct.
Kindly get this member included in the playing 11 at the earliest. The current team is failing miserably on all aspects of #Cricket#INDvsSA #BCCI— Somen Sharma (@s_somen) January 21, 2022
Definitely not the start Dravid would have wanted as coach..losing the Test series 2-1 and now a loss in the ODIs against the Proteas #INDvsSA #RahulDravid #KLRahul #SAvsIND

#RahulDravid#KLRahul#RishabhPant
These three are the main reason for Indian team lose today
Kl stat padding innings 56(79)
Pant lack of match awareness,losing his wkt immediately after rahul wkt by playing poor shot.
Dravid poor team selection @BCCI ___— VIP (@EppovumVIP_Offl) January 21, 2022
Without @ImRo45 this team looks like B grade team..
Even #RahulDravid is not upto his mark as a head coach.
Very poor performance by India cricket team!!#INDvsSA
