IND vs SA 1st ODI full scorecard
Another Ro-Ko show was on display today in Ranchi’s JSCA International Cricket Stadium as the duo tore apart the South African bowling line-up to help India put a mammoth total of 349 for 8 on the board batting first. In reply, South Africa were only able to reach 332 for 10 despite a late fightback as India walked away with a fighting XX-run victory in the match. India now lead the three-match series by 1-0.
Earlier, India’s bad luck with the toss continued as they lost their 19th consecutive ODI toss and were asked to bat first by Proteas skipper Aiden Markram. India got off to a good start with Yashasvi Jaiswal (18) looking in good touch until he edged the ball from Nandre Burger to the keeper in the fourth over to hand South Africa their first success in the match.
However, Kohli and Rohit then took charge and put up a brilliant half-century stand in just 40 balls to help India finish the powerplay at 80 for the loss of just one wicket. Kohli continued his form and brought up his 76th ODI half-century before Rohit joined him by scoring his 60th ODI half-century. He then broke Afridi’s record for most ODI sixes before finally losing his wicket on 57 off Marco Jansen. Before that, he and Kohli put up their 20th 100-run stand in ODIs, which is joint-highest with Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara and only behind Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly with 26.
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s ODI return did not go as planned as he lost his wicket for just 8 off Ottneil Baartman, who then removed Washington Sundar (13) to put a halt to India’s batting onslaught. While India lost wickets on one end, Kohli continued the onslaught on the other and brought up his 52nd ODI century to put India en route to a mammoth total. Kohli’s brilliant innings came to an end on 135 when he lost his wicket to Nandre Burger.
Indian stand-in skipper KL Rahul then took centre stage and scored his 19th ODI half-century before losing his wicket on 60 to Marco Jansen. In the end, Ravindra Jadeja, with a brilliant cameo of 32, helped India finish the innings at 349 for 8 after 50 overs.
In reply, South Africa lost their first wicket early after Harshit Rana cleaned up the stumps of Ryan Rickelton (0) on the first ball of the second over. Two balls later he got Quinton de Kock (0) caught behind to put South Africa on the back foot early. Arshdeep Singh then removed Aiden Markram (7) two overs later to keep the pressure on the visitors.
Tony de Zorzi (39) then played some good shots and brought South Africa back on track before being trapped in front of the wicket by Kuldeep Yadav. Dewald Brevis (37) then followed Zorzi’s footsteps and played a quick 31-run innings before losing his wicket to Harshit Rana.
However, Matthew Breetzke and Marco Jansen turned the game with their hard hitting, putting Indian bowlers under pressure. They added 97 runs for the sixth wicket before Kuldeep Yadav removed Marco Jansen on 70 and, in the same over, Matthew Breetzke on 72 to get India back in control of the match.
Kuldeep then also removed Subrayen (17) to deny South Africa another late fightback. Nandre Burger was the next batter to depart off Arshdeep Singh on 17. Corbin Bosch then scored his maiden ODI half-century and played a brilliant 67-run innings to take the Proteas close to the target but eventually lost his wicket in the final over to Prasidh Krishna as the visitors were bundled out for 332, handing India a thrilling 17-run win.
