Right-handed batter Sanju Samson might not have been able to win the first ODI for India against South Africa, but he is gaining a lot of applause for the way he constructed an 86-run innings against the Proteas. Known to be a ferocious hitter of the ball, Samson took his time initially and uncharacteristically, he looked to take the game deep. In the final over, hosts India needed 30 runs, and Samson made a match out of it as the side needed 15 off 3 balls. However, he failed to connect on the fourth delivery of the over, and in the end, South Africa wrapped a 9-run victory.

The physio for the Tri-Series Theo Kapakoulakis confirmed Mitchell's hand had been placed in a cast which would need to remain on for at least two weeks.
India's preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup received a major jolt as premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury. Team India are yet to name a replacement for Bumrah and there are three names that are floating around -- Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar. So it needs to be seen on who replaces Bumrah in the 15-member squad. It is important to mention that Shami and Chahar are part of standbys for the marquee event, set to be played in Australia.

It has been a decade but Bhuvneshwar Kumar's debut in what was the last bilateral series between India and Pakistan, seems like yesterday. The very second delivery of his international career swung away and after pitching viciously tailed in to disturb opener Nasir Jamshed's timber. Bhuvneshwar has not bowled such a delivery in the last two years. Now that he is expected to lead the Indian attack at the T20 World Cup, his own performance at the death overs is under the scanner.
Proteas batter Heinrich Klaasen admitted that 50-over World Cup qualification will be difficult, but insisted they'll give it their best shot.
Right-handed batter Sanju Samson on Thursday showed why he is regarded as one of the most promising batters in the world. He played an unbeaten kncok of 86 in the first ODI against South Africa, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Chasing 30 runs in the final over, Sanju made a match of it as he took Tabraiz Shamsi to the cleaners, but in the end, the Proteas managed to hold their nerve to seal a thrilling nine-run win.
