1st ODI: India Brush Past South Africa In Close Encounter, Take 1-0 Lead In Three-match Series

By IANS News December 01, 2025 • 08:38 AM View: 307

India survived a scare and sailed past South Africa in a closely-fought encounter to grab a 17-run victory in the first ODI and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. It was a tough battle between the batters of both sides, and a contest to take several lessons from.

India put up a commanding first innings total, driven by a superb century from Virat Kohli and vital fifties from Rohit Sharma and K.L. Rahul. After being asked to bat, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal early to Nandre Burger, but Rohit and Kohli quickly seized control.
