    Arshdeep Singh
    5/37(10)
Right then, that is it from Super Sunday at the Wanderers and the Indian bowlers have yet again got the better of the South African batting lineup. All is not lost yet for the Proteas as there are still a couple of more games to go and the 2nd ODI will be played on Tuesday, 19 December at St George's Park in Gqeberha. That game will begin at 4.30 pm IST (11 am GMT) but you can catch our build-up to that game a lot sooner. Cheers!
KL Rahul, the skipper of India talks about being very happy winning the first-ever ODI here as a captain. He says that the plan was a very different one for this game as he wanted the spinners to come into play soon but the fast bowlers did an amazing job of picking those wickets at the start. He further adds that the mindset has been a very positive one even after the World Cup and it's turning the shape for him to accept new challenges in all the formats of the game. Ends by saying that it has been a great game of cricket and they will look to take this momentum forward in the series.
Arshdeep Singh is the Player of the Match for his match-winning spell. Arshdeep says that he is a bit sore but he is loving the moment and goes on to thank the Almighty and the coaching staff. Adds that he came to know about the different conditions here after running in for 3-4 overs. Mentions that personally it feels good and it's always a dream to play for your country and bowl the difficult overs and he also thanks KL Rahul for backing him to get the five-for. Mentions that it is about enjoying the moment and then moving on to the new place and assessing conditions well.
Aiden Markram, the skipper of South Africa starts by talking about the game as being a tough one. Adds that it was his decision to bat first and put runs on the board but gives credit to the Indian bowlers for bowling brilliantly. He also adds that usually the ball moves around for 7-8 overs but today it went on to move around for a lot more. The mindset was to be aggressive and score good runs on the board. He finishes by saying that if asked again he would not have batted first.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Aiden Markram decided to bat first in the 'Pink ODI' at the Wanderers but it all went haywire for South Africa in the opening few overs itself. Arshdeep Singh rocked them with a double strike in the second over of the game and then the pair of Tony de Zorzi and Markram did offer some resistance. KL Rahul persisted with Arshdeep and he picked up another wicket after which Avesh Khan came on and picked up the pieces by running through the middle order. The Proteas were 73/8 at one stage but Andile Phehlukwayo played a little gem of a knock to take his side over the 100-run mark. Avesh finished with four and Arshdeep who picked up his first ODI wicket after playing 3 matches, also picked up a five-wicket haul in the same game. Coming to the chase, it was the class of Sai Sudharsan and the aggression of Shreyas Iyer that took India over the line with plenty of overs to spare.
South Africa were always going to be up against it after that dismal batting performance but the frontline pacers did show signs of life. Debutant Nandre Burger should have had a wicket but they didn't review an LBW decision and then Wiaan Mulder did pick up a wicket as this time the LBW was reviewed. That was as good as it got for the Proteas and it was one-way traffic after that as neither the pacer nor the spinners could even create a wicket-taking opportunity. Andile Phehlukwayo did pick up a consolation wicket right at the end but it made no impact on the outcome of the game.
Signed, sealed and delivered! India with a thumping victory over hosts South Africa at the 'Bullring' in Johannesburg to take a 1-0 series lead and it really was a high-class all-round performance from the Men in Blue. Needing a meager 117 runs for victory, the debutant Sai Sudharsan started off in fine fashion hitting a few classy boundaries but did get lucky with one LBW decision. His partner, Ruturaj Gaikwad though looked a bit shaky and was soon dismissed. Shreyas Iyer then walked in and started playing his shots, not quite middling it but every now and then, there was a fine shot from his bat. Sudharsan on the other hand played a classy knock and the pair brought up their fifties in the same over. Iyer did get caught trying to finish things in a hurry but the debutant stayed on and got his side over the line with ease.

Short ball outside the off stump, with pace off and Shreyas Iyer looks to hit it straight again but could only get a top edge high into the sky for David Miller to take an easy catch around the point region.

Wiaan Mulder To Shreyas Iyer
FOUR! Straight as an arrow! Pitched up right in the slot and on off stump, Shreyas Iyer plays a straight drive by getting a big stride forward and holds the pose as the ball gets drilled past the bowler and into the ropes.
Shreyas Iyer is the batter at number 3 for India.

Wiaan Mulder To Ruturaj Gaikwad OUT!
OUT! LBW! Another appeal for LBW and again the umpire turns it down. Two sounds again but this time Aiden Markram does review it. Wiaan Mulder bowls this one very full on middle, shaping it back in, Ruturaj Gaikwad misses the flick and plays all around the ball and gets rapped on the pads. No spike on UltraEdge though. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and South Africa do get their first wicket eventually. Brilliant review and Gaikwad has to depart.

Great fielding by Aiden Markram at mid off! Pitched up around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad gets on the front foot and pushes it wide of mid off where Markram pounces on the ball and has a quick shy at the bowler's end with both batters caught ball watching. Sai Sudharsan was well down the pitch and would have been a goner had that hit.

Nandre Burger To Sai Sudharsan
A much louder appeal for LBW this time but the umpire says no. The bowler, Nandre Burger likes it but Aiden Markram decides against the review. Full again, on middle and angling in sharply, Sai Sudharsan plays all around it and gets a thud on the pads. The replays show no bat was involved and it might have been sliding down leg but certainly worth a look, especially given the score on the board. The replays later on show that the ball was crashing into middle and leg, a huge opportunity missed.
