The Proteas were blown away in the first of the five-match series for a record low 74 on a bowler-friendly surface in Cuttack.
“I thought the pitch was good; not every pitch that you bat on is supposed to be a 220 pitch,” Prince said, after the 105-run defeat.
“The Indian bowlers asked a lot of good questions and ultimately we weren't able to answer. | think, as a cricketer, that should be a massive word (adaptable) in everybody’s vocabulary because in cricket matches, you pitch up.
