India crushes South African batting lineup

In the high-stakes World Cup 2023 match at Kolkata's Eden Gardens, South Africa's chase of 327 runs began disastrously, with their top order struggling. Indian bowlers made crucial early breakthroughs, with Mohammed Siraj dismissing in-form Quinton de Kock for a mere 5 runs, and Ravindra Jadeja packing off Temba Bavuma with just 11 runs to his name. Further compounding South Africa's woes, the fiery Mohammed Shami, who has been in exceptional form, joined the party by removing Aiden Markram after he managed just 9 runs off 6 balls.

Earlier in the game, Indian captain Virat Kohli showcased a remarkable performance on his 35th birthday by achieving his 49th One Day International (ODI) century, equalling the extraordinary record previously held by Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli's century played a pivotal role in India posting a formidable total of 326/5 in 50 overs. This challenging target put South Africa under immense pressure, and their initial struggle in the chase further intensified the contest.
