A viral video captured the cricket maestro expressing his appreciation to the ground staff, followed by a cheerful photo session with them. The ground staff, brimming with excitement, congratulated Kohli for his remarkable century, contributing significantly to India’s resounding 243-run victory over South Africa.
Kohli played a pivotal anchor role, guiding teammates Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja to play aggressively. Despite the challenging conditions of the slowish pitch at Eden Gardens, India posted an imposing total of 325 runs, subsequently dismissing the Proteas for a mere 83 runs. Ravindra Jadeja shone brightly, securing five wickets with his exceptional bowling skills.
India’s winning streak continued as they clinched their eighth consecutive victory, overpowering South Africa convincingly. Kohli’s scintillating century and Jadeja’s exceptional bowling performance contributed significantly to the team’s success.
