After registering his maiden Test half century against India at the Wanderers on Tuesday, emerging Proteas batter Keegan Petersen thanked his father Dirk for planting the cricket seed in him.

Keegan, who was South Africa’s best batter during the first innings with a score of 62, before he was dismissed by Shardul Thakur, revealed that Dirk influenced him to play the game.

“I have just batted the same way since I was a kid and that’s all. Thanks to my dad because he is the only guy I have been working with all my life. I always tell everyone that he probably knows my technique and my game better than I do.” “That is where I always dragged along to club games and I fell in love with the game from that time. If you can ask the people that know me from back home, they used to see my dad throwing thousands of balls to me in the nets all the time and that’s where I learnt my trade.”
