00:03 In a spectacular display of cricket prowess,

00:09 the Indian cricket team marked Virat Kohli's 35th birthday

00:13 with a resounding 243-run victory over South Africa

00:17 at Eden Gardens.

00:18 Kohli, in stellar form, celebrated

00:20 with his second century of the World Cup,

00:23 an unbeaten 101 containing 10 fours.

00:26 His partnership with Shreyas Iyer,

00:29 who contributed a solid 77 runs with seven fours and two sixes,

00:33 anchored a significant third wicket stand of 134.

00:37 Electing to bat first after winning the toss,

00:39 India capitalized on wayward pace

00:41 bowling by Marco Janssen.

00:43 The batting fivers included a brisk start,

00:45 but Captain Rohit Sharma fell for a quick 40.

00:48 Despite a challenging delivery, dismissing

00:50 opener Shubhman Gill for 23, the team

00:52 reached 326 for five wickets on a slow Kolkata

00:55 wicket with late contributions from Ravindra Jadeja,

00:58 who hit 29 runs not out.

01:00 In response, South Africa's chase of 327

01:03 began poorly, losing half of their side for a mere 40

01:06 runs within 14 overs.

01:09 Jadeja, the standout bowler, claimed five wickets,

01:12 giving just 33 runs, dismantling the Proteas

01:15 alongside Mohamed Shami, 2 for 18,

01:18 and the team was dismissed for 83 in just 27.1 overs.

01:23 Jadeja's impactful performance included shattering

01:26 the stumps of three batsmen.

01:28 Kohli's century not only marked a personal milestone,

01:31 but also led India to their eighth successive victory,

01:34 setting a commanding tone in the World Cup.

01:36 The match, considered a dress rehearsal

01:39 for the potential title clash later in the tournament,

01:42 highlighted India's dominance and solidified their standing

01:46 as a formidable contender.

01:47 The team's cohesive performance, blending batting brilliance

01:50 with bowling excellence, further strengthens their position
