India overcome scare from trio of Breetzke-Jansen-Bosch to secure 17 run over SA in 1st ODI
Nov 30, 2025
India is 1-0 up in the three-match series. Putting India to bat first, SA paid the price as Virat Kohli (135 in 120 balls, with 11 fours and seven sixes), KL Rahul (60 in 56 balls, with two fours and three sixes) and Rohit Sharma (57 in 51 balls, with five fours and a six) taking India to 349/8 in 50 overs. Reduced to 11/3, Proteas was lifted by some sensational knocks from Matthew Breetzke (72 in 80 balls, with eight fours and a six), Marco Jansen (70 in 39 balls, with eight fours and three sixes) and kept alive by Bosch (67 in 51 balls, with five fours and four sixes) even though SA kept losing wickets. Kuldeep (4/68) and Harshit Rana (3/65) were the top bowlers for India.
