"These are practice games. The teams field their best combination and try out reserves as well. I don't want to read too much into Tuesday's result. Because every team is trying something or the other (in the warm-up games). It is better that we don't look much into it. They are one of the strongest sides, in all formats and not in just T20," said Rohit during a media interaction at the scenic HPCA stadium. India 'A' had humbled South Africans in a practice game on Tuesday.
