That's a wrap, folks! The pre-tournament preparations are done and it is now time to gear up for the mega event. Both these teams will be looking to start their campaign with a win but for now, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!
Let's now hear from Ishan Kishan - Kishan expresses his excitement about getting the opportunity to open the innings, but he also enjoyed batting at number 3. He emphasizes that he's focused on doing his best regardless of his batting position, especially with the World Cup approaching. He also attributes his success to being present in the moment, watching the ball closely, and playing the required shots. He credits the pitch for being tremendous to bat on in the second innings, saying he trusted the wicket's bounce. He also highlights the importance of Tilak Varma's comeback, noting that Varma brings more than just batting skills, as he can also contribute with the ball and provide stability in the middle order. He praises Varma's fielding and current batting form. Regarding bowling, Kishan acknowledges that there's always room for improvement. He feels that his team did well on the wicket, but the opposition bowled well too. He suggests that the team will review their bowling in the team meeting.
South Africa's efforts - The Proteas came into this clash on the back of a home series win against the Windies but their star batter, Quinton de Kock, didn't feature in this game. Skipper Aiden Markram played a solid knock up top but the likes of Dewald Brevis and David Miller disappointed. However, probably two batters that are vying for a spot in the Playing XI - Tristan Stubbs and Jason Smith played fighting knocks and Marco Jansen also managed to get a few big hits away.
India's story - After a scintillating display with the bat where plenty of batters got an eye in, the hosts did a fine job with the ball as well. Even without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian attack started positively as Arshdeep Singh got an early wicket. There was resistance all throughout from the Proteas but the likes of Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy bowled really well. Even the fringe bowlers like Shivam Dube and Abhishek Sharma were amongst the wickets. There is work to be done, though, as a few bowlers seemed out of touch and went for plenty of runs.
India almost at their peak - A fine all-round showing from the reigning T20 Champions and they have made a statement with this win. A win that will not just calm the nerves of a home tournament but will also send a signal to all the other teams. South Africa blew hot and cold all throughout the game but will be decently pleased as they got a high-octane game against a top side.
