Ravi Shastri, the former India head coach, added a dose of humor to the live commentary during IND vs SA. As India secured an impressive 243-run victory, their 8th consecutive win in the tournament, the spotlight turned to a unique on-field interaction involving Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, and the dynamic duo of Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli.
As Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli steadily constructed a formidable 134-run partnership for the third wicket, the cricketing world watched with bated breath. However, it was what transpired off the pitch that had everyone talking. Rohit Sharma was spotted having an animated conversation with young Ishan Kishan, who played the role of a messenger between the batters in the middle.
Ravi Shastri, who was in the commentator’s booth, couldn’t resist chiming in on the amusing situation. He humorously quipped that if the batter made a mistake after Ishan Kishan delivered the message, only to later shift the blame to the wicketkeeper-batsman, there would be consequences. “Ulta sidha bol diya kuch aur baad mein batsman bataya andar jaake ki mereko Ishan ne bola ye karne ko…phir toh chaddi aur kiska niklega,” he said, drawing laughter from the audience.
India’s dominance was on full display as they posted a formidable total of 326 runs on the scoreboard, batting first against South Africa. Virat Kohli emerged as the star of the show, etching his name in history with his 49th ODI hundred, equalling Sachin Tendulkar’s record. Shreyas Iyer provided able support with a composed 77, while Rohit Sharma set the stage on fire with a blistering 24-ball 40.
The Indian bowlers continued their relentless assault on the South African batters, eventually bundling them out for a mere 83 runs. Ravindra Jadeja took center stage, securing 5 wickets for just 33 runs.
India’s consistent winning streak in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has cemented their position at the top of the table, leaving cricket fans worldwide in awe of their performance. With Ishan Kishan’s unconventional role on the field and Ravi Shastri’s witty commentary, this match will be remembered for more than just the cricketing action.
