Johannesburg, Nov 15 (UNI) India delivered a scintillating batting performance in the ongoing T20I against South Africa at The Wanderers, racing to 129/1 after the first 10 overs on Friday.
This explosive start places India among their highest scores at the 10-over mark in T20Is. It closely trails their record of 152/1 achieved against Bangladesh in Hyderabad earlier this year and surpasses the 117/0 milestone set against Sri Lanka in Indore in 2017.
Indian openers launched a calculated assault on the Proteas’ bowlers, with Sanju Samson leading the charge, supported by Tilak Varma and Abishek Sharma. Their aggressive stroke play and ability to capitalise on scoring opportunities kept South Africa under relentless pressure during the powerplay and beyond.
India’s batting prowess has once again underlined their dominance in the shortest format, leaving South Africa with a steep task to counter the formidable total.
