Jatin Paranjape The Indian juggernaut keeps rolling on, decimating teams, big or small. They completed another demolition job on the strong South Africans, who are also in great form. Form is one thing and being able to handle the pressure of a large number of fans at the Eden Gardens cauldron is something else.

Jansen not at his best

Marco Jansen was overawed by the occasion and turned up only as a fraction of the bowler that he is. This is worrying for SA as it is the absolute business end of the tournament now. Hopefully, he will find his straps, run in hard and bowl fast in the semis. On Sunday, he was a pale shadow of the bowler he is, and was just releasing the ball, hoping it would land in the right place. There was no pace, and soon Rohit Sharma took him apart. I hope the great South African choke will not impact the rest of the team too.
