India vs South Africa Live Score Updates, 1st ODI: Ruturaj dismissed early, Shreyas comes in middle, IND 30/1- 6 Overs
India vs South Africa Live Score Updates, 1st ODI: Ind vs SA, Pacer Arshdeep Singh became the first Indian pacer to take a five-wicket haul against South Africa in ODI cricket.
The 24-year-old pacer accomplished this feat during the first ODI between India and South Africa at Johannesburg.
Arshdeep was breathing fire with the ball, taking 5/37 in 10 overs, with an economy rate of 3.7. The pacer dismantled the South African top order, getting wickets of Reeza Hendricks, Tony de Zorzi and Rassie van der Dussen. Later, he removed a dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo.
Overall, he is the fourth bowler to take a five-wicket haul against SA in ODIs for India.
Batting first, the Proteas lost their momentum, kept losing wickets. India’s Arshdeep Singh took a fifer while Avesh Khan picked four wickets. Kuldeep Yadav finishes off the Proteas’ innings with his trademark style. The Proteas managed to score just 116 runs in 27.3 overs and now India need to score 117 to win.
Earlier, Arshdeep Singh departed Hendricks and Dussen in the second over, as both the batters failed to open their account.
Just when South Africa was looking in good momentum, Arshdeep departed Zorzi (28) on the fifth delivery of 8th over, as he was caught by KL Rahul. Arshdeep Singh departed Klaasen on the very last delivery of 10 the over as he hits his stumps.
Following this, Avesh Khan departed Proteas skipper Aiden Markram (12) on the very first delivery of 11th over and then dismissed Wiaan Mulder for a golden duck in the next delivery. He then picks up wicket of David Miller (2) on the last delivery of 13th over and following this, departs Keshav Maharaj (4) on the first delivery on the 17th over. This is the fourth wicket for him too.
Arshdeep Singh delivers his last over and picks up the wicket of Andile Phehlukwayo (33) via LBW on the very first delivery of the 26th over. This is his 5th wicket for him.
Kuldeep Yadav was brought back to finish off the Proteas’ innings and he does with his trademark style in the 28th over by breaking the latter’s stumps and SA’s innings comes to an end.
For SA, Andile Phehlukwayo (33) scored the highest runs, followed by Tony de Zorzi (28 runs). Apart from these two players, no other batter could cross 15-runs mark.
After closing the T20 international series on a strong note, the young Team India is facing South Africa in the ODI format of the game today. KL Rahul is leading the Indian cricket team in the absence of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The South African team is also pretty young with Aiden Markram at the helm.
The ODI series marks the return of some crucial players like KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, etc.
Speaking about Samson, captain KL Rahul had said, “Sanju will bat in the middle order. That is the role he has played whenever he has played ODI cricket.”
“He will bat at No. 5 or 6. For now I am going to keep wickets, but if there is an opportunity for him in that role, he will definitely at some point in the series.”
Just ahead of the first ODI match against South Africa, Deepak Chahar was forced to pull out due to some medical emergency in his family. The BCCI has decided to replace the pacer with Akash Deep.

India vs South Africa Live: “I was under a bit of pressure because I never took any wicket in ODIs before. Happy to get a fifth. The wicket had purchase early on and the plan was to get some LBWs and bowleds. (Having the new ball) Our team’s main motto is adaptibility. Whether I open or bowl first-change, I’m happy representing my country. (10 overs in first 25 overs) It was quite hot as well. I was playing a 50-over game after a year. But it all paid off, and after my five-for, I feel very fresh.
