The first ball was 144 kmph, which Rohit played with soft hands, and the ball went between slip and short third man to the boundary. The next ball was straight and full, which Rohit sent towards mid-wicket for a four. The third ball was fuller length outside off stump. Rohit played the shot and the ball went past backward point for a boundary. On the fifth ball of the same over, Rohit went to defend while playing from the crease, and the ball hit the outside edge of his bat. Quinton de Kock reacted immediately after catching the ball and tossed it into the air. There wasn’t much appeal from Burger, but de Kock asked captain Bavuma to take a review. Ultra-edge clearly showed that the ball had hit the bat. The review was successful, and South Africa got a wicket. Rohit scored 14 runs off 8 balls, which included three fours. 3. Spectator entered the field, touched Kohli’s feet After Virat Kohli’s fifty, a fan broke security and entered the field, touching Kohli’s feet. Later, security guards took him out.

He completed his half-century in 52 balls and then, playing aggressively, scored a century in 77 balls. As soon as he completed his century, Kohli hugged him. Gaikwad took off his helmet, raised his bat, and saluted the spectators. This century came off Corbin Bosch’s full delivery, which he sent for a boundary past mid-on. 5. Sundar was run out Washington Sundar was run out on the last ball of the 41st over. Markram’s ball was near the off-stump, which Sundar tried to reverse sweep, but the ball hit the edge of the bat and went straight to short third man. It was Rahul’s call, but Sundar ran for a single without looking. Rahul did not show interest in taking the run from the start. Sundar had to stop midway and turn back, and he also dived, but it was too late by then. Bosch slid and stopped the ball, then immediately threw it towards de Kock. De Kock dislodged the bails, and umpire Rod Tucker gave Sundar out without a review. Sundar was run out after scoring 1 run off 8 balls. 6. Britzke dropped Rahul’s catch In Marco Jansen’s 46th over, Matthew Breetzke dropped an easy catch of Rahul.

Kohli breaks into a dance after De Kock’s dismissal Arshdeep Singh got India their first wicket by dismissing Quinton de Kock in 4.5 overs. The full-length ball moved slightly outwards after pitching. De Kock went to play a shot over mid-on, but the ball took the edge of his bat and went very high in the air. Washington Sundar ran to his right at mid-on and took the catch. As soon as De Kock was out, Kohli danced. Quinton was out after scoring 8 runs in 11 balls, which included two fours. 10. Tilak saved a six by leaping in the air In the 20th over, Markram tried to play a big shot off Kuldeep Yadav’s ball, but the ball didn’t connect properly with the bat. Tilak Varma, standing at long-on, reached the spot. He jumped in the air and took a brilliant catch, but immediately realized that his foot might land outside the boundary line while falling. At this moment, Tilak released the ball while still in the air. In this way, he saved a six for India, allowing only one run.
