IND vs SA, World Cup 2023 Highlights: Kohli, Jadeja propel India to record-breaking win against South Africa
India vs South Africa Highlights: Team India blanked out yet another opposition in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and this time it was South Africa, who collapsed to a lowly 83 after the Men in Blue got to a 326-run score, which was huge on a slow Eden Gardens surface.
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.

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.

Rabada asking tough questions
Rabada is bowling well in the middle. He has beaten Kohli's outside edged several times. Kohli was close to chop one into his stumps but the ball bounced well before the stumps. A beautiful cover drive from Kohli was also seen in the over. Inda 72/1 after 8.

Rohit Gone!
And Rohit is gone!! Kagiso Rabada gets the Indian captain for 40. A fuller ball and Rohit plays this to mid-off, where Bavuma takes a good catch which was coming at his face too fast. The Birthday boy Kohli is here.

Rohit survives!
A fuller ball from Jansen and Rohit throws the kitchen sink at it. He slices this to the third man at deep but Tabraiz Shamsi is a little short - hard one for him. 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.

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.

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.

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.
