Rahul’s superstition, tossed the coin with his left hand Captain KL Rahul adopted an unusual style for the toss today, flipping the coin with his left hand instead of his right. The result was that India finally won a toss after 20 ODIs. India had won the previous toss in the 2023 World Cup semi-final, after which a record of 20 consecutive losses was set. Incidentally, before this, the only team with a worse toss performance streak in ODIs was the Netherlands. The team lost 11 consecutive tosses between March 2011 and August 2013. 2. Arshdeep gets a wicket in the very first over Arshdeep Singh gave India a strong start in the very first over. He sent opener Ryan Rickelton back to the pavilion by having him caught by wicketkeeper KL Rahul. Rickelton went to drive a full-length ball, but the ball took the edge of the bat and went straight into Rahul’s hands. Rickelton could not even open his account. 3. Rohit-Ruturaj gave De Kock a lifeline In the third over, Quinton de Kock got a life. De Kock tried to drive a full-length ball outside off-stump from Harshit Rana, but the ball took the outside edge of the bat and went quickly over the slips towards the boundary. Both Rohit and Ruturaj just watched the ball go over their heads. It seemed like Ruturaj, standing at second slip, could have tried. Harshit Rana looked quite upset with this missed opportunity. 4. De Kock’s Century with a Six In the 30th over, Quinton de Kock completed his century. He smashed a century in just 80 balls. De Kock played a pull shot off Harshit Rana’s short-of-a-length delivery and sent the ball over deep mid-wicket for a six. This was his 23rd century in his ODI career. 5. Brevis hit on helmet with the first ball After Aiden Markram was dismissed, Dewald Brevis, who came to the crease, had a very painful start. The fifth ball of Harshit Rana’s over was short-pitched, which Brevis tried to evade by turning away and even looked away. The ball hit him directly on the back of his helmet and deflected towards the fine leg boundary. Also Read | Rohit Sharma completes 20,000 international runs 6. Prasidh bowled De Kock On the fifth ball of the 33rd over, Prasidh Krishna ended Quinton de Kock’s magnificent innings. He bowled a fast, full-length delivery, on which De Kock couldn’t fully cover the line and tried to play a shot on the on-side. The ball moved inwards, deceiving his bat and directly rattled the stumps. De Kock was bowled after scoring 106 runs. 7. Rohit saved a boundary with a dive In the 38th over, Rohit Sharma displayed brilliant fielding. Brevis played a cut shot off Arshdeep Singh’s delivery, and the ball seemed to be going past point. Just then, Rohit made an amazing dive to his left and saved a boundary. In the very next over, Rohit once again showed his fielding prowess. Brevis attempted a sweep shot off Kuldeep Yadav’s ball. The ball went up in the air. Rohit ran quickly and took an excellent running catch. 8. Kohli-Kuldeep did a couple dance after Bosch’s wicket In the 43rd over, Kuldeep Yadav caught Corbin Bosch off his own bowling and dismissed him. As soon as the wicket fell, Virat Kohli, who was standing nearby, also joined the celebration, and both performed a funny couple dance. Seeing them dance hand-in-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder, their teammates also burst into laughter. Bosch returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 runs off 12 balls. 9. Rohit denied Kuldeep from taking the review In the 43rd over, Kuldeep Yadav tried to take a review on an LBW appeal. He looked towards captain KL Rahul, but Rohit Sharma, standing at first slip, immediately denied it with a gesture. On the fifth ball of the over, Kuldeep bowled an inswinging delivery. Ngidi missed playing forward and the ball hit the pad directly.

Replays showed that the ball was going outside the leg stump, so Rohit’s decision not to take the review was absolutely correct. 10. Kohli’s no-look six In the 34th over, Virat Kohli hit a no-look six. The last ball of Corbin Bosch’s over was short of good length on the off stump. Kohli moved slightly forward and sent the ball 87 meters over deep mid-wicket. After the shot, he swung the bat while looking at the bowler. 11. Kohli won the match with a boundary In the 40th over, Virat Kohli hit two consecutive fours to give India a 9-wicket victory. On the fourth and fifth balls of Lungi Ngidi’s over, Kohli played brilliant shots in the covers direction and sent them outside the boundary.
