Men’s ODI WC: 'Credit To Virat And Middle Order Batsmen Who Handled SA's Spinners', Says Jadeja
Cricket World Cup: India’s left-arm spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja credited talismanic batter Virat Kohli and the middle-order batters for handling South Africa’s spinners well in their 243-run thrashing of the visitors’ to get their eighth straight win in the league stage of 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Propelled by birthday boy Kohli’s 49th ODI century, putting him equal with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, along with a fine 77 from Shreyas Iyer, India posted 326/5 after electing to bat first. In reply, Ravindra Jadeja took 5-33 as South Africa were bowled out for 83 in 27.1 overs, maintaining their clean slate in the competition.
“I think the turn was more and the bounce of the wicket was less when they were bowling. But now, if you ask me personally, the wicket in the afternoon and now - now it was a little easier.”
