In the first ODI between India and South Africa at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, Ruturaj Gaikwad attempted a smooth square drive. However, the ball unexpectedly rose higher than he anticipated and soared toward point. For a brief moment, it seemed like it might land safely, but Dewald Brevis had other plans. He darted in, perfectly timed his leap, and launched himself to his right to make an incredible flying catch. The crowd was left in disbelief, and South Africa celebrated a crucial early wicket in the 2025 South Africa tour of India, swinging the momentum in their favor.

The pitch began to slow down, making it harder to play freely, and it felt like the innings might start to drift.

He scored an impressive 135 off 120 balls, showcasing his intent on a surface that was becoming increasingly challenging. Breaking from his usual cautious style, Kohli took on the bowlers and smashed seven sixes only the third time he’s hit more than five in an ODI, and his first time doing so against South Africa. Rohit Sharma provided excellent support, scoring 57 off 51 balls, and together they formed a crucial 136-run partnership for the second wicket. Even though South Africa attempted to claw back during the middle overs, India kept their momentum going. KL Rahul chipped in with a solid 60 off 56, and Ravindra Jadeja added a quick 32 off 20, helping India finish strong and get close to the 350 mark. South Africa's fielding was decent overall, but de Zorzi dropping Rohit when he was on just 1 could turn out to be the moment that allowed India to set an even bigger total.
