Victory for Team India in First ODI

India set a formidable target of 348 runs, largely due to Virat Kohli's outstanding innings of 135 runs, complemented by contributions from KL Rahul (60) and Rohit Sharma (57). Despite a strong effort from South Africa, led by Corbin Bosch's 67 runs off 51 balls, they fell short, finishing at 332 all out.

Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler for India, taking 4 wickets for 68 runs in his 10 overs. Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh also made significant contributions with 3 and 2 wickets, respectively, while Prasidh Krishna claimed the final wicket to secure the win.
