What’s the story
Corbin Bosch tried his level best but ultimately it wasn’t enough as South Africa lost the 1st ODI against India by a 17-run margin in Ranchi on Sunday.
The Proteas were 227/6 in the 31st over when Bosch arrived. And soon, the visitors were 228/7 in the same over.
It was Bosch’s heroics that helped South Africa get to 332 while chasing 350.
Bosch takes over the mantle and offers a fight
All-rounder Bosch showed his batting prowess as he almost pulled off a miracle.
SA were in the contest but the wickets of Matthew Breetzke and Marco Jansen in the 31st over brought India back.
However, Bosch took over the mantle and played his shots. He took the game close and stitched mini partnerships with Prenelan Subrayen and Nandre Burger.
Prasidh Krishna dismissed Bosch eventually.
