Most Consecutive T20 Wins: South Africa END Team India’s RECORD Run, Rishabh Pant & Co STUMBLE in Delhi, fail to ACHIEVE World Record
World record chasing India put on a massive 210 on the board after being put in to bat by South Africa in the 1st T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Ishan Kishan scored a stunning 76, while the likes of Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer chipped in with cameos to help the hosts put on a gigantic score.
In response, India were on top after Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Axar Patel all got wickets in the first half of the innings. David Miller, who played a starring role in Gujarat Titans’ IPL 2022 win, kept the Proteas in the hunt, while Rassie van der Dussen struggled at the other end with a sub-par strike rate of under 100.
