ICC World Cup 2023 Full Highlights: India vs South Africa Highlights | Match 37

South Africa’s Batting Woes

South Africa’s batting lineup found itself in a dire situation, as they struggled to contend with the formidable Indian bowling attack. The Proteas lost five wickets for just 40 runs on the scoreboard in 13.1 overs. This early collapse set the tone for the rest of the innings, as South Africa continued to lose wickets at regular intervals.

Ravindra Jadeja’s Stellar Performance

Ravindra Jadeja, the left-arm off-spinner, was the standout performer for India. Jadeja captured five wickets for a mere 33 runs, dismantling South Africa’s batting lineup.

India’s Dominant Innings

In the first innings, Rohit Sharma emerged as the driving force for the Indian team. Sharma launched a ferocious assault on the South African bowlers, scoring 40 runs off just 24 balls, including eight boundaries. This explosive start set the stage for India’s commanding total of 326 runs.

Virat Kohli’s Century

This century marked Kohli’s 49th in One Day Internationals (ODIs), equalling the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record.

India’s Collective Effort
