Sports News. Be it Australia, England or now South Africa, everyone has failed in front of Team India in World Cup 2023. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, team India, which crushed every team and performed brilliantly, easily overcame their last big challenge before the semi-finals. After Virat Kohli’s historic 49th century, Team India defeated South Africa by 243 runs on the strength of Ravindra Jadeja’s deadly spin in the match held in Kolkata on Sunday, November 5. Along with this, Team India has secured its first position in the points list.
The challenge of South Africa was overcome
Apart from Team India, so far only South Africa was progressing as the most successful team in this World Cup and was becoming a challenge. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes were fixed on this match. Also, it was Virat Kohli’s birthday, so it was special for him, his fans and Team India. First Kohli made it more special by scoring a historic century and then Ravindra Jadeja gave his best World Cup performance and did for South Africa what Team India’s fast bowlers had done against other teams in previous matches.
Rohit Sharma, who always excelled at the Eden Gardens, did the same once again. Won the toss and decided to bat first and then gave the team a flying start on a difficult looking pitch. In just 5 overs, the team scored 61 runs, out of which 40 runs belonged to Rohit. Kagiso Rabada dismissed Rohit in the sixth over. However even after that Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli hit some great shots. In the 11th over, Gill was bowled by a surprise delivery from spinner Keshav Maharaj.
India’s innings
India scored 90 runs in just 10 overs and the impact of this start was that when the spinners came in, despite the ban on runs, Team India’s score was not affected much. Shreyas Iyer put on a brilliant partnership of 134 runs with Kohli, which was quite slow in the beginning but later Iyer picked up the pace. However, he could not score a century again and was dismissed for 77. KL Rahul too could not last long, while Suryakumar Yadav quickly added some runs and took the team close to 300.
