Virat Kohli Dances on Anushka Sharma’s Songs.

In a resounding World Cup 2023 victory, Team India, led by birthday boy Virat Kohli, crushed South Africa by a staggering 243 runs. This emphatic win marked India’s eighth triumph in the ongoing World Cup, reaffirming their status as a formidable force in international cricket.

Virat Kohli, who celebrated his 35th birthday on this momentous day, etched his name in the annals of cricket history by notching his 49th ODI century. His unbeaten 101 off 121 balls not only secured the victory but also drew him level with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI hundreds. The cricket world watched in awe as Kohli exhibited his remarkable batting prowess, displaying unwavering determination and class.

Kohli’s incredible innings was complemented by a crucial 134-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer, who contributed a valuable 77 runs to India’s innings. Together, they propelled India to a commanding total of 326 for five, setting a formidable target for South Africa to chase.

Virat Kohli got the moves

However, it wasn’t just Kohli’s batting heroics that caught the fans’ attention. The Indian skipper displayed his charisma and enthusiasm by breaking into a little dance during India’s bowling innings. The DJ at Eden Gardens played a song from Anushka Sharma’s movie, and Kohli couldn’t resist vibing to the track with some hook steps, adding a touch of entertainment to the proceedings.

In reply, the Indian bowlers delivered a spectacular performance, led by Ravindra Jadeja (5/33), Mohammed Shami (2/18), and Kuldeep Yadav (2/7). They dismantled the South African batting lineup, bundling them out for a mere 83 runs in just 27.1 overs. This clinical display of bowling prowess demonstrated India’s depth and strength in the bowling department.

India’s path to victory had been paved by the impressive opening partnership between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. The dynamic duo added 62 runs to the scoreboard before Gill’s departure, with Rohit Sharma’s explosive 40 off 24 balls setting the tone for India’s innings. Kohli and Iyer continued the onslaught against the Proteas’ bowlers, with Kohli’s historic century as the centerpiece. Ravindra Jadeja played a quickfire unbeaten 29-run innings off just 15 balls, further propelling India to a commanding total.

With this victory, both India and South Africa have solidified their places in the semifinals, making their presence felt as strong contenders in the World Cup 2023. As the tournament progresses, cricket fans can look forward to more scintillating performances and thrilling encounters on the road to World Cup glory.
