The pitch started to slow down, making it tougher to play freely, and it felt like the innings might start to drift away.

He scored an impressive 135 off 120 balls, showing his intent on a surface that was becoming increasingly tricky. Breaking away from his usual cautious approach, 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 tried 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.
