India vs South Africa: Top 5 Worst Performers for India

The trauma continues for the Indian cricket team as they lost their second test match - and with it the test series - against the Proteas. Dropping to an implausible 2-0 deficit, even an overwhelming Indian victory in the third and final match would serve no purpose except to soothe Kohli and company's wounded pride.

India lost by 72 runs and 135 runs in their first and second test matches, respectively. There were some good performances from the Indian side, but most of their players, specifically their batsmen, didn't live up to anyone's expectations.

So, let's take a look at the 5 players who've let us down hardest during this travesty of a series.

5. K.L. Rahul

He was given a place on the team ahead of Shikhar Dhawan because of his proven technical skills and great potential; this choice has been well-validated by many of his away performances: 6 Matches, 9 Innings, 380 Runs with an average of 42.22. But he failed to deliver as expected at SuperSport Park, Centurion. While it's true that we shouldn't dismiss someone out of hand for a bad showing during a single game, the ways he got out in both innings were so abominable that he makes our list notheless. Let's hope he proves his worth in the next game.
