India in an emphatic win over the Proteas
Virat Kohli slammed a record 49th ton on his 35th birthday, even as his compatriots showed fine form against South Africa in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.
An attacking start from Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill was supplemented by a brilliant ton from Virat Kohli and an attacking fifty from Shreyas Iyer. Courtesy of some late blows from Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, India finished over 300
South Africa showed good fight in the field, plugging the flow of runs in the middle overs, but India were helped by a bright start and a strong finish.
This was Kohli's 49th ODI century, making him the joint-highest century-maker in ODIs.
India bowlers struck immediately with the new ball, accounting for South Africa's top-order in the first Powerplay.
Ravindra Jadeja (5/33) took centre stage thereafter, picking regular wickets to derail the Proteas effort.
