Keagan Petersen is keeping things on a high with his second fifty in the 3rd international test against India. His technique and composure were highly praised by AB de Villiers, a legendary South African cricket player.
AB De Villiers Backs Keagan Petersen
During his third test day, Keagan Petersen withheld his solid position as a South African player and showed off his clearcut textbook moves. With this, he was able to keep the momentum he had on the previous test day.
The cricket player played so well that AB De Villers took to social media to express how proud he is of Petersen. But aren’t we all! According to the Indian News Republic, Petersen dealt with the Indiana Pacers, who managed a lot of seam movements from the Newlands pitch by playing soft hands.
“The pros and cons are that Keegan Petersen can play. I’m very excited about the calmness, skills, and techniques I’ve seen against one of the best attacks in the world,”
Petersen’s Test Debut in 2021
Thus far, Keagan Petersen has only played four tests and made his first test debut last year. Regardless, Petersen stands out from the crowd and could surely be the next best thing where cricket is concerned.
His consistency is what led the team to keep the Indiana Pacers in their place and so far so good. So, the home team is currently trailing by 123 runs with 7 wickets still in hand. The team should be able to get a good first inning if they manage to avoid a batting collapse.
Now, South Africa’s success lies in Keagan Petersen and his batting skills which could only mean good things for the cricket player as many experts are weighing in on how good he is at present. By keeping the same speed, the proteas might just score a perfect win. With Petersen around this might not be altogether impossible.
