NEW DELHI: Unbeaten India take on South Africa in a high-stakes showdown, with the top position in the World Cup league stage at stake. In what promises to be a gripping encounter, the battle of equals is set to captivate fans at the iconic Eden Gardens.
Members of the Indian cricket team, including Virat Kohli and seasoned spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu as they recall their journey in the 2011 World Cup.It was during this edition that the only game India lost was to South Africa. The unexpected hero of that encounter was Robin Peterson, who smashed Ashish Nehra for 19 runs, leading to an Indian defeat despite Sachin Tendulkar’s heroic century.
In a turn of fate, Kohli, who is just one century away from equalling a record 49th ODI hundred, and Ashwin are the sole surviving members from India’s triumphant 2011 squad. Now, they find themselves in a position to lead the current Indian team to glory once more.
As the teams prepare to face off on Sunday, India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, has an opportunity to emulate the all-conquering Australian team of 2007, which won the World Cup without losing a single game. A victory in this clash would secure India’s top spot with a match against the Netherlands left to play.
However, the die-hard Indian fans are well aware of the ‘Law of Averages’ in sports and may not mind if it catches up before the knockout stage. The true test awaits, and the heat will be felt most when it matters the most.
