Indian skipper`s catch was dropped on 23 runs, but then the South Africans were successful in dismissing him for 40 runs. His innings included 6 fours and 2 sixes.

Virat Kohli is holding on back and is trying to stabilize India`s batting with Shreyas Iyer. The duo brought up 100 runs for India in the 14th over`s first ball. Iyer`s knock of 82 runs will definitely give him confidence in today`s match. The duo has set their feet in the middle and are fetching gaps to help India reach a respectable total. Both completed their 50-run-stand at the end of the 25th over.
Kohli and Iyer are slowly turning the game in India`s favour by playing sensible cricketing shots. India has not lost a single match in the ICC World Cup 2023 and will look to continue the winning streak against the in-form South Africa.
