Baartman till S Dube
Four runs. FOUR! Ottniel Baartman to Shivam Dube. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and India have put up a commanding total on the board. The platform was laid beautifully by the openers, who provided a solid and steady start, ensuring there were no early setbacks. The innings was then expertly anchored by Tilak Verma, whose composure through the middle overs kept the momentum firmly in India's favour. But the standout performance belongs to Hardik Pandya, who turned the game on its head with a breathtaking, destructive knock. His power-hitting at the death completely dismantled the South African bowling attack and propelled India into a dominant position. To their credit, the Proteas bowlers kept probing and showed intent, but conditions and execution didn't quite swing their way. The challenge ahead is steep, and South Africa's batters will need clarity of thought, positive intent, and smart shot selection if they are to stay in the hunt.
