In the match-winning performance at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata where star batsman Virat Kohli displayed exceptional prowess, scoring an unbeaten 101 runs in 121 deliveries and equalling Sachin Tendulkar’s record with his 49th ODI century.
Kohli’s stellar performance, alongside a strong partnership with Shreyas Iyer, propelled India to a substantial total in the ICC World Cup 2023 clash against South Africa.
India’s dominance extended beyond the batting display, as Ravindra Jadeja’s remarkable five-wicket haul contributed significantly to South Africa’s downfall. The opposition was restricted to a mere 83 runs, securing India’s victory with an impressive 243-run margin.
While Kohli’s on-field heroics thrilled fans, his actions off the field also garnered attention and admiration.
Despite his remarkable achievements, the 35-year-old cricketer opted for economy class while boarding a flight to Bangalore.
