India vs South Africa Highlights, World Cup 2023: Jadeja runs riot at Eden, IND win by 243 runs

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Inswinger into the stumps but too full for the fifth ball of this never-ending over from Jansen, Gill flicks it between mid-on and midwicket. The fourth ball was wide as well from Jansen and so 17 from the over. Fortunately for the bowler, that's how it stays as the next ball is a dot.

IND vs SA Live Score: India 22/0 in 2 overs

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Well Jansen not having the best of times. He bowled another wide, this time way outside off to the point that it was first slip who collected it. Then a tight second ball at last and then Gill crashes the third legal ball between short cover and mid-off. 12 runs off the first three balls of this over.

IND vs SA Live Score: India 17/0 in 1.3 overs

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Jansen induced an edge from Rohit Sharma first ball and the Indian captain got away with it, took a single. Then the first ball that Gill faces is wide down the leg side. The next one is so wide that it goes between the keeper and leg slip to the boundary. Effectively six runs off the second ball so far.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: A typically graceful shot to get Rohit and India off the mark. Ngidi pitched up the fourth delivery of the over, Rohit goes up and over short cover and the ball races to the boundary.

IND vs SA Live Score: India 4/0 in 0.4 overs

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma on strike with Shubman Gill at the other end, as usual. Lungi Ngidi starts the first over, which is quite unusual as that is normally done by the towering Marco Jansen. Surely, Jansen will be steaming in from the other end. Him bowling the new ball has worked so well for South Africa now, surely they can't be deviating from that tactic today.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Rahul Dravid and Roger Binny are active in the Indian cricket scene as the head coach of the men's team and the BCCI president respectively. But they briefly wear the hat of decorated former cricketers themselves as they ring the bell at the Eden Gardens to mark the start of the match.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Bavuma admits that South Africa would have batted first as well but it will be a "nice challenge" to chase. "We know that's one area where we need to gain more confidence, we'll have to bat with responsibility." He says that South Africa have made one change, which is bringing in Tabraiz Shamsi for Gerald Coetzee.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Rohit says it looks like a good pitch but the call didn't have anything to do with the pitch, India just want to challenge themselves. “It'll be a good game, two teams who have played consistent cricket and have topped the table, will be nice to win and go on top,” he said. Rohit says that he loves playing at the Eden Gardens as do the rest of the team. “The entire team looks forward to play at this historic ground.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma has won it and India are batting first! They have decided to make South Africa do the uncomfortable things.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma and Temba Bavuma are out there, Ravi Shastri makes the Gardens shake with his voice. Toss is coming up!

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Irfan Pathan and Ravi Shastri say that this is a pitch tht will assist spinners. South Africa's pacers are not going to get a lot of bounce. Pathan says that South Africa should play two spinners

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: There are cakes in the ground! If Kohli does manage to equal Tendulkar's record today, the crowd at Eden Gardens have come prepared for the historic event. Many great batters have had some of their greatest moments at the Eden. Is that going to be the case today as well?

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Teams have often squandered good platforms in this tournament but Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller have made sure that South Africa don't do that almost every time they bat. Klaasen has a strike rate of 151.44 in 7 matches and that includes that whirlwind century which he scored against England. Miller is striking at 129.41 in seven matches. India will be very wary about these two once they get past the likes of QDK and Aiden Markram.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Bangladesh and the Netherlands scored 229 and 204 respectively batting first here. However, the fact remains that in the first instance, Pakistan chased that target down with 105 balls to spare. Apart from that, India and South Africa are not Bangladesh or the Netherlands, even though the Dutch did a number on the Proteas in this tournament.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: That is what Temba Bavuma indicated in his pre-match comments. At the time, though, he was yet to take a look at the pitch. “If the wicket assists the spinners, you’ll definitely see those two (Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi). We saw what Keshav did the previous game (4/46 vs New Zealand). On the (Pune) wicket, it probably didn’t offer a great deal of spin, but he was able to be super successful. We saw Tabraiz Shamsi as well in Chennai… what he did coming off the bench (4/60 vs Pakistan)," he had said.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: The match against Sri Lanka ended up being a romp to end all romps for India and they also enjoyed a comfortable win against New Zealand. However, the Blackcaps did briefly make India feel the absence of their sixth bowling option. Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra tonked India's spinners to all parts in the middle overs and there was no Shardul Thakur either to shore them up. Thakur is expected to not play today either considering India wouldn't want to make any changes to a winning combination but South Africa's batting lineup is one that is arguably far more potent that New Zealand's. The fact remains that in that particular game, India came back strong and limited New Zealand to a score of 273, when something around 350 was very much on the cards during the middle overs. Conversely, South Africa are in a differnt planet altogether when it comes to big hitting finishers. How much India will be hurt by the absence of Pandya, only time will tell.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Incidentally. South Africa's first-ever ODI, and their first-ever international match after being reinstated in 1991 was against India in Kolkata in the month of November. Since then, the two teams have faced each other 90 times in ODIs. South Africa have won 50 of these matches while India have won 37.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Rahul Dravid said that this is a match between two teams in good nick but he can't call South Africa the toughest opponents. "I think there are three or four other good teams in this tournament as well. Maybe some of them haven't clicked as well as they would have liked to, or they have had a tough run. But South Africa certainly have been playing very well," he said.
