written by Atharva Jori
Team India's star batter Virat Kohli did not participate in the Men in Blue's cake-cutting celebrations at the hotel after their 17-run win over South Africa in Ranchi on Sunday. A video surfaced on social media, showing stand-in captain KL Rahul cutting a cake at the team hotel. Kohli walked past the celebrations and headed towards the lift. The former skipper clapped and waved to fans before moving away. You can watch the video of the incident below: Kohli shone with the bat for India after the side was put in to bat first. The seasoned campaigner notched up his 52nd ODI century, scoring 135 runs off 120 deliveries. Rahul (60 off 56) and Rohit Sharma (57 off 51) hit impressive half-centuries as the hosts registered 349/8 in 50 overs. South Africa fought hard in the run chase, but ultimately ended up on the losing side in the last-over thriller. Matthew Breetzke (72 off 80), Marco Jansen (70 off 39), and Corbin Bosch (67 off 51) were the top performers with the bat for the visitors. Kuldeep Yadav claimed a four-wicket haul, while Harshit Rana took three scalps.

Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...
