The India-South Africa match is going on in the Super-12 stage of the T20 World Cup. Batting first, India scored 133 runs. Arshdeep Singh gave 2 big blows in the second over to the South Africa team who came out to chase 134.

 

Quinton de Kock got the wicket of the first ball. He was caught by Lokesh Rahul at the second slip. On the third ball of the same over, there was an LBW appeal against Riley Russo. The umpire declared not out. Arshdeep also felt that the ball was outside the line of leg stumps. But, captain Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik decided to take a post-discussion review and it was in India's favor.

 

When the bowler doesn't have confidence then...

You can also call it getting the benefit of experience. So far in this World Cup, Arshdeep has been giving wickets in the opening overs to Team India. He was seen doing the same thing against South Africa on Sunday. First Quinton de Kock was run through a brilliant outswinger. Then to Riley Rousseau.

 

Rousseau's wicket is a shining example of cricketing sense and experience. This delivery from Arshdeep was fuller and it came inside the line of off-stump. Rousseau shuffled towards the middle stump. The ball hit his pads directly. Arshdeep appealed for a long time, but umpire Richard Kettlebrough declared not out.

 

Rohit and Karthik looked towards Arshdeep, but according to the bowler, the ball was missing the leg stump. That is, he was hesitant to take DRS. On the other hand, Karthik and Rohit felt that Russo was right in line with the stumps. Nonetheless, Rohit decided to take DRS. It was visible that Rousseau was in front of the wicket and the ball was also in the red corridor. Virat appeared very excited as soon as the decision the outcome.

 

Kohli's energetic celebration

Team India started celebrating Riley Russo's LBW decision as soon as the big screen was shown. During this, the energetic celebration of Virat Kohli was also seen. He was celebrating separately from the rest of the players.
