IND vs SA, World Cup 2023 Highlights: Kohli, Jadeja propel India to huge win against South Africa

India's dominance continued in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup as they shrugged off another opposition, this time it was South Africa whose chasing woes came to haunt them yet again. Team India posted a huge score of 326 runs on the board owing to Virat Kohli's record-equalling 49th ODI century, a second consecutive aggressive half-century from Shreyas Iyer and cameos from skipper Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja. The surface was slow and it seemed India had gotten enough as Kohli suggested in the mid-innings and eventually, it was proven as Indian bowlers were too hot to handle for the Proteas. India will now finish at the top of the table, for a third Cricket World Cup in a row on the points table.

    Kohli bags POTM

    It was a big game. Probably playing the toughest team in the tournament so far, there was motivation for doing well. People made it a bit more special on my birthday. I had a sense of it being something more. When the openers start in that fashion, you'd think it was a belter. Conditions change with the old ball. Message from the management was for me to bat deep, I was happy from that perspective. We knew we were above par when around 315. I enjoy playing cricket again which is more important now and that I'm able to contribute for the team all over again. Tendulkar's message is quite special. It's all too much to take in for now. It's a huge honour to equal my hero's record. He's perfection with the bat. It's an emotional moment. I know the days I come from, I know the days I have watched him on TV. To receive appreciation from him means a lot to me.

    Birthday boy Kohli gets to his fifty, AB de Villiers on commentary

    Virat Kohli smashed his 71st ODI half-century as he rescued the innings after India lost both the openers immediately following the powerplay. The crowd is right behind him and there is a century for the taking for Kohli as even though the pitch is a touch slow, if the batter gets his eyes in, he can go really big.

  • 4:03 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer do the repair job

    Losing Shubman Gill immediately after the powerplay wasn't ideal but Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer played the spinners well. Both Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi bowled well and put pressure on the Indian pair but both kept ticking the scorecard and eventually got the result.

  • 3:12 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

  • 2:32 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Rohit Gone!

  • 2:25 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    50 up!!

    A wonderful flick shot by Rohit Sharma and its 50 up for India

  • 2:23 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Rohit survives!

    India win toss, opt to bat

    Team India skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bat first saying that the pitch looked good and rather than anything else, they wanted to challenge themselves against a good team. For South Africa too, it will be a challenge given that they have chased twice only in the tournament, lost once and won by just one wicket in the other game.

    IND vs SA toss: Both teams would want to bat first

    South Africa to maximise their advantage and India to deny that advantage to the Proteas - will want to bat first and with the surface not offering much bounce, it may be a 270-300 game rather than a 320-370 match, which makes it a potential thriller.

  • 1:22 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs SA pitch report: A bat-first track, could slow down later

    Ravi Shastri and Irfan Pathan said that the pitch No. 5 being used for the India-South Africa is a better surface than the last game which saw Pakistan chase down 204 runs easily against Bangladesh. One side has a few spots and the wicket looked a touch slow with not a lot of bounce and hence could get slower as the match progresses.

  • 1:19 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    A top side in the group stage on offer

    The team winning on Sunday is likely to finish at the top of the table and will likely face New Zealand or Pakistan in the semi-final (1 vs 4) and both teams will be motivated to put things right against a strong opposition.

  • 1:14 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Pakistan helped South Africa confirm semi-final spot, now time to show off

    South Africa have probably been the best side in the tournament so far while batting first having posted a 300-plus total every single time and 350-plus on four out of those matches. It will be interesting to see if they bat again, how will Indian bowlers cope and fare against such a powerful unit.
