India (349/8) pull off tense 17-run victory over South Africa (332) in action-packed 1st ODI in Ranchi

It is a mystery how India plays so much better without Bumrah.

Pakistani poster's.

Odd days - https://ppforum.pakpassion.net/thre...cess-depends-solely-on-jasprit-bumrah.314423/

Even day - India is play so much better without Bumrah

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol what Kohli doing..

 

[Devadwal]

Two of my favourite South African players are at the crease- Bravis and Breetzke .

 

[Devadwal]

Damn bravis gone. He was hitting sixes effortlessly.

 

[Devadwal]

Wow Jansen wow. Putting another batting masterclass 38(16)* with 3 four and 3 sixes

 

[gazza619]

Great approach by SA. Still fighting

 

[gazza619]

70-80 more runs with this partnership and then who knows.

 

[RexRex]

Jansen is a special cricketer. The next great allrounder

 

[globetrotter]

South africa winning..... neighbors still awake

 

[Devadwal]

Jansen is a special cricketer. The next great allrounder

He is taking the revenue of World T20 2024 final. Remember how some Pakistan posters claimed he is playing for an IPL contract.

 

[Ball Blazer]

South africa winning..... neighbors still awake

Thin chances. India will take this

 

[Devadwal]

From 11-3 to winning the match. This is some achievements for South Africa.

 

[globetrotter]

Jensen gone.... Kuldeep strikes

 

[globetrotter]

Still SA favorites

 

[globetrotter]

Kuldeep's double strikes .... SA in trouble

 

[RexRex]

These South African batsmen just keep going. They are the anti-chokesters now.

 

[DRsohail]

This off spinner should have not tried another six , should have taken it deep.

 

[sweep_shot]

SA did well despite playing a B team.

No Lungi, no Maharaj, no Bavuma, no Shamsi, no Rabada.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I love Kuldeep’s bowling. Doesn’t matter how many runs he goes for. The man is a strike bowler and always gets us wickets. That’s the brand of cricket we must encourage.

 

[sweep_shot]

SA did well despite playing a B team.

No Lungi, no Maharaj, no Bavuma, no Shamsi, no Rabada.

SA A team can whitewash India easily.

 

[Ball Blazer]

SA giving tough times to Indian bowlers

 

[DRsohail]

SA did well despite playing a B team.

No Lungi, no Maharaj, no Bavuma, no Shamsi, no Rabada.

Rabada and Nrthje could have made a difference?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Can Bosch pull an Abdul Razzaq here?

 

[sweep_shot]

Rabada and Nrthje could have made a difference?

I think so.

Maharaj too.

 

[sweep_shot]

57 to win from 41 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

49 to win from 34 balls.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Paaji loading in now. Can he win the game for India?

 

[sweep_shot]

43 to win from 30 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

38 to win from 24.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Such an intense and two-sided rivalry

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Rohit has lost alot of weight

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sharma ji couldn't stop that one

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

HarSHIT Rana

 

[Justcrazy]

India will win this.

 

[Justcrazy]

If SA had a couple more wickets , things could have been different. Bosch needs to keep the strike , not easy

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bosch swept that one for six. Treating Paaji like a spinner

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bosch is a serious player. Proper all-rounder.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bosch has to bat the remaining balls , two dot balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA need three sixes here . Highly unlikely

 

[Justcrazy]

The equation is simple , SA need Borsch to hit three sixes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Prasidh starts with a dot.

 

[DRsohail]

What a player this Bosh is turning out to be, jansen and him will make a great lower order for SA.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Arshdeep nailed those yorkers at the right time. Usually delivers under pressure

 

[sweep_shot]

India have defeated South Africa B team.

SA fought well despite having no Nortje, Rabada, Shamsi, Maharaj, Bavuma, and Ngidi.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

HarSHIT Rana

Work in progress but he's probably the best ODI bowler we have right now.

Was the best seamer on either side tonight.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good game. Both teams can take positives.

 

[Rajdeep]

Arshdeep nailed those yorkers at the right time. Usually delivers under pressure

Best left arm seamer after Wasim from Asia.

#Fact

 

[harshjoshi87]

South Africa did well after being 11-3. The SA batters & dew should get the credit.

 

[harshjoshi87]

It is a mystery how India plays so much better without Bumrah.

Bumrah did his job in 1st test at Kolkata. Gambhir & his all-rounders couldn't get the job done.

 

[Rajdeep]

Gautam Gambhir -

Picks Ruturaj as back up opener but bats him at no 4

Picks Pant and Tilak as middle order batter but bench both and allow back up opener to bat in middle order.

Allow spin bowling all rounder Sundar to bat above pure batter and captain KL Rahul.

 

[Savak]

Can Kohli realistically reach the milestone of a hundred international centuries, he has already retired from T20 and Test Cricket, how many ODIs does India have between now and the 2027 ODI WC?

This is pure comedy. South Africa should have won the match . A team who is playing Tuktukraj at 4 , washi at 5 when you have Pant and Tilak, Jurel in the team deserved to Lose the match. This is mockery of team selection

 

[Rajdeep]

Kohli will be back in test cricket soon...mark my words. Just wait.

 

[sweep_shot]

Without Kohli, Rahul, and Bumrah, India could've been bundled out for 200. They scored like 250 out of 349.

It shows India is still reliant on old players like Bumrah, Kohli, Rohit, Rahul, Jadeja, Kuldeep etc.

Once these guys retire, I expect India to be in big trouble.

 

[Champ_Pal]

SA did well despite playing a B team.

No Lungi, no Maharaj, no Bavuma, no Shamsi, no Rabada.

Other than Rabada, the rest are a joke in ODI’s.
This is pretty much a full strength SA team.

You must be upset that India won

Most of these guys didnt play in Asia cup and yet India was run away champions

It's possible man.

Root can break test record and Kohli can take :Sachin overall record. Sachin will lose everything in a couple of years.

But if that happens hitman may have a seizure so I urge Kohli to think twice before breaking it but Root should continue with our blessing.

Haha pahile bol raha tha ruturaj kabhi khelega nahi

Kaha hai najuk shabam aur tera riyan pan parag pan masala

Is ko batao koi gill is Boss of Indian cricket , injured hai isly bahar h team se.

Tera Tuktukraj ki koi jagah ni hai. Dekhna is series ke tino match bhi ni khelega or dropped ho jayega. Fir drink serve karega Jo uski job hai

TBH this is insane that Tilak Verma is not playing and washington sundar is in the team

 

[IAJ]

Kohli, old is gold!

 

[Devadwal]

TBH this is insane that Tilak Verma is not playing and washington sundar is in the team

GG's love affair with all-rounders is next level. Yes limited over cricket is suitable for all-rounders but not in top 5.

why shreyas Iyer is not playing?

 

[Hitman]

why shreyas Iyer is not playing?

Injured. Was in the ICU, remember?

 

[Champ_Pal]

TBH this is insane that Tilak Verma is not playing and washington sundar is in the team

Washington is a very good all rounder. He is the future when Pandya retires. Washi should play.

Tilak should be playing in place of Rituraj Gaekwad.

Prasidh bhai should not even be in the team let alone playing XI. Karnataka lobby seems to be pretty strong.

Ideally Abhishek should be playing both ODI's and T20's. He should open with Jaiswal. Rohit at 3 and Kohli at 4.

Abhishek
Jaiswal
Rohit/Gill (Rohit is not in long term plans)
Kohli
Tilak
KL Rahul
Washi
Jaddu
Kuldeep
Arshdeep
Bumrah

Reserves - Riyan Parag, Jurel, Siraj, Varun Chakravarthy.
