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: The big fast bowling all-rounder has been a menace to top order batters in this World Cup. Jansen has picked up 12 wickets in the powerplay in this World Cup - the most by any bowler in that phase. Sri Lanka's Dilshan Madushanka is second with seven.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: The great man has often been susceptible to spin, particularly the left-arm variant, in recent years. However, Virat Kohli is yet to be dismissed by a spinner in this World Cup. In 204 balls against them, he has scored 184 runs.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: When they bat first, South Africa have looked nigh on invincible. How is it that you beat a team when they have scored 428, 311, 399, 382 and 357 after batting first. Their innings have normally ended with the opposition team battered and bruised and ready to be gobbled up by their world class bowling attacks.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Mohammed Shami was not even part of this Indian World Cup squad and came in only when Hardik Pandya got injured. Three matches later, he is just one wicket Jasprit Bumrah's tally for this tournament. He took five wickets in his first match, four in his second and five again in his third.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Regardless of how dangerous India's bowlers have been in this tournament, the fact remains that QDK loves to play against this opposition. In 19 ODIs against them, he has six hundreds, three of them in successive innings at the start of his career. The 1072 runs he has scored against India at an average of 56.42 is the highest for him against any country in ODIs after Sri Lanka.

Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller and sometimes Aiden Markram may provide the fireworks later in the innings but the reason why they have been able to do so is because, more often than not, Quinton de Kock has provided South Africa with a fantastic platform to work on in this World Cup. The former Proteas skipper is the highest run scorer in this tournament that has seen quite a few big scores, with 545 runs in seven matches at an average of 77.85. He has a strike rate of 112.60 despite taking his time early on in his innings. But, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami have formed arguably the most dangerous powerplay attack this year and so it will be interesting to see how he fairs against them.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Both Rohit Sharma and Temba Bavuma will have a real decision in their hands when they win the toss. In fact, this might be a good one to lose, an expression that is used most often in Test cricket. India have shown that their bowling attack is so strong that they can win from any situation but they have been at their efficient best while chasing. South Africa have looked most comfortable setting up a score. One's strength is the other's strength. As if this clash wasn't mouth-watering enough already.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: India have a 'menace' and it goes by the name of Virat Kohli. Before you draw the swords, we aren't saying it. India's head coach Rahul Dravid is. Dented by the ruling out of Hardik Pandya, it's sixth-bowling option is a concern, but Dravid emphasises that if need be, Kohli is here to roll his arms over and chip in with a few vital overs. He bowled once in this World Cup – just three balls when Hardik injured himself against Bangladesh in the middle of his over – but there was swing. And never count out Kohli. Everything he touches can turn to gold.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: India's worst nightmare came true on Saturday morning, when the ICC officially announced that the injured Hardik Pandya will take no further part at the CWC '23. The news was an unexpected one because the ankle injury Hardik sustained while fielding against Bangladesh was healing well. But as per a striking revelation by a BCCI official, the swelling in Hardik's ankle resurfaced due to which the all-rounder was not even able to walk, undoing all the hard work he had put in during the last couple of weeks training at the NCA. An absolute BUMMER! India will miss him for sure, but the manner in which Mohammed Shami has stepped up, claiming 14 wickets in three matches and how Suryakumar Yadav is beginning to find his feet at No. 6, India may be slightly better-placed than initially imagined.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: As No. 49 beckons, Virat Kohli's life has come full circle. Fourteen years ago, right here at this very ground against Sri Lanka, Kohli notched the first of his remarkable 48 centuries. While many attribute his innings of 183 against Pakistan or 133 against Sri Lanka to the emergence of the chase master in Kohli, it was his innings of 107 in 2009 that truly revealed the first glimmers of his mastery in the art of chasing. In that game, Gautam Gambhir's unbeaten 150 earned him the Player of the Match accolade, yet he selflessly passed the award to Kohli.

Now, all these years later, Kohli has returned to the hallowed Eden Gardens, aiming to further solidify his legacy.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Move over Rohit vs Rabada, Kohli vs Jansen, or Bumrah vs de Kock. The real drama is expected to play out between Marco Jansen and Jasprit Bumrah. The two fearsome pacers were involved in a heated argument during a Test match in Johannesburg, with both literally coming face-to-face. Bumrah had a wild swing at a bouncer from Jansen which he failed to connect. The approach perhaps did not sit will with Jansen, who tossed a few verbal volleys at the India quick. And well, Bumrah doesn't hold back either, does he? Jansen and Bumrah charged at each other before being separated by the umpires. Since that game, Bumrah and Jansen haven't shared the same field for their respective international teams. And hence, expect even more fireworks today if either of these pacers has the chance to bowl to their counterpart.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: India's batters versus South Africa's pacers, or India's bowlers taking on South Africa's batters? Traditionally, when India faces off against a formidable opponent, it's often portrayed as a showdown between India's batting and the opposition's bowling prowess. However, in this World Cup, the brand of cricket played by both India and South Africa has shifted the narrative to a clash of strengths: a dynamic blend of batting and bowling excellence.

Remarkably, there appears to be no weak link in either of these teams. Both units have witnessed their batters amass runs with power hitters like Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Virat Kohli, and Aiden Markram, while the bowlers have relentlessly taken wickets - Mohammed Shami, Marco Jansen, Jasprit Bumrah, and Gerald Coetzee.

Today's epic showdown is set to determine the team to beat in the semifinals, making it a mouth-watering contest between the No. 1 and 2 team in this competition.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: ICYMI! Pakistan are still alive in their hunt for a place in the semifinals following an unbelievable DLS, rain-marred win over New Zealand yesterday. This win has really intensified the equation as there's a four-way battle involved with just two spots for up grabs. Australia, Pakistan and New Zealand are all in the fray. And technically, as are Afghanistan. Pakistan need to beat England in their final league game, and the BlackCaps need to do the same against Sri Lanka. If both win, whoever has a higher NRR will qualify. Afghanistan have a tall ask at hand with their next two matches being against Australia and South Africa. As well as they've played, beating both teams looks tough.

India vs South Africa Live Score, IND vs SA World Cup 2023: Virat Kohli is the man for big occasions! And there's nothing more monumental for THE KING to make this Sunday legendary for two reasons.
