दक्षिण अफ्रीका की बल्लेबाजी की धूम
आईसीसी चैम्पियंस ट्रॉफी 2025 के पहले मैच में दक्षिण अफ्रीका का दबदबा साफ़ दिखाई दिया। कराची के नेशनल स्टेडियम में खेले गए इस मुकाबले में दक्षिण अफ्रीका ने पहले बल्लेबाजी करते हुए 50 ओवर में 315/6 का विशाल स्कोर खड़ा कर दिया। युवा बल्लेबाज रयान रिकलटन ने 106 गेंदों पर 103 रनों की शानदार पारी खेली, जो उनके करियर का पहला वनडे शतक था।
दक्षिण अफ्रीका की ओर से कप्तान टेम्बा बावुमा ने 58 रन और रस्सी वैन डेर डुसेन ने 52 रन का योगदान दिया। अंतिम ओवरों में आए आक्रामक बल्लेबाज एडेन मार्कराम ने मात्र 36 गेंदों पर नाबाद 52 रन जोड़े, जिससे टीम को और मजबूती मिली।
अफगानिस्तान की विफल chasing
अफगानिस्तान की टीम लक्ष्य का पीछा करने में नाकाम रही, शुरुआती ओवरों में ही टीम के शीर्ष बल्लेबाज पवेलियन लौट गए। हालांकि रहमत शाह ने 92 गेंदों में 90 रनों की संघर्षपूर्ण पारी खेली, परंतु उन्हें दूसरे छोर से सहयोग नहीं मिला। मोहम्मद नबी ने भी 39 रन बनाए, लेकिन टीम 208 रनों पर ही ढेर हो गई।
दक्षिण अफ्रीका के गेंदबाजों में कगिसो रबाडा ने खास प्रदर्शन किया, उन्होंने 36 रन देकर 3 विकेट निकाले। उनके साथ लुंगी एनगिडि और वियान मुल्डर ने 2-2 विकेट लिए, जिससे अफगानिस्तान की बल्लेबाजी बिखर गई। मैच के परिणामस्वरूप दक्षिण अफ्रीका ने अपने ग्रुप में पहला स्थान हासिल किया।

मार्च 11, 2025 AT 14:53Ek bhi no-ball, ek bhi wide, pure 36 runs me 3 wickets? That’s pure death over engineering.
Van der Du Plessis? He’s the real MVP. 52 off 48? That’s not batting, that’s a surgical strike.

208? 315 KE AAGE? YE TOH KHUD KI KAMZORI HAI...
HINDUSTAN KI TEAM TOH 400 BHI KAR DETI!

मार्च 12, 2025 AT 23:35Pitch was a batting paradise, no spin, no swing, just flat like a pancake.
And you call this a century? In 2025? Bro, I’ve seen 10-year-olds score 120 in local leagues.
This isn’t cricket, it’s a marketing stunt.
The real hero? Rabada. He’s the only one who made this game look like a contest.
Chirag Yadav
मार्च 13, 2025 AT 23:46Rickelton’s calm under pressure, Rabada’s control, even the way South Africa handled the middle overs...
And Afghanistan? They fought hard. Rahmat Shah’s 90? That’s grit.
Cricket’s not just about winning. It’s about showing up, giving your all.
This match had both.

मार्च 14, 2025 AT 02:03Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
103 runs on a big stage? That’s courage.
And Afghanistan? You didn’t lose. You just played against a team that was ready.
Keep going. We believe in you.

मार्च 15, 2025 AT 12:53We have the spectacle. We have the numbers. We have the lights.
But where is the soul?
Where is the soul of the game?
A century in 106 balls? Is that art? Or is it just algorithmic aggression?
I weep for cricket.
MANJUNATH JOGI
मार्च 17, 2025 AT 11:41You see it in the way they rotate strike, the way they finish - no ego, just execution.
And Afghanistan? They’re building. Rahmat Shah? That’s the future.
This is the beauty of global cricket - growth, not just glory.

मार्च 18, 2025 AT 02:33Especially considering the pitch was high-scoring.
His line and length consistency under pressure was textbook.
Also, Markram’s strike rate of 144.44 in the death overs is a game-changer for modern ODI strategies.

मार्च 19, 2025 AT 14:56Not with the scorecard, but with the courage to step onto the field.
Ryan, you inspired. Afghanistan, you showed heart.
That’s what matters.
Rishabh Sood
मार्च 20, 2025 AT 16:37It’s that we’ve turned cricket into a corporate product.
A century is no longer a feat - it’s a KPI.
The soul of the game is being auctioned off in sponsorship deals.
We are all just spectators now.
And the players? They’re just pixels on a screen.
Saurabh Singh
मार्च 22, 2025 AT 09:16Rahmat Shah’s 90? Pathetic. He should’ve been out at 30.
And who’s coaching them? Some ex-club player from Jalalabad?
This is why we can’t have nice things.

मार्च 24, 2025 AT 08:46It was a 300-run parade with 3 wickets on the other side.
I’ve seen more tension in my mom’s WhatsApp group.
INDRA MUMBA
मार्च 26, 2025 AT 07:05The quiet grit of Rahmat Shah, the fireworks of Markram, the precision of Rabada - it’s all poetry in motion.
And Ryan? That century? It’s not just runs. It’s a promise.
A promise that the next generation is ready.
Let’s cheer for the game, not just the scoreboard.
Anand Bhardwaj
मार्च 26, 2025 AT 20:54Everyone’s hyping Rickelton’s century like it’s the second coming.
Meanwhile, Rabada’s 3/36 is quietly the most important performance of the tournament so far.
That’s the real story.
But nope, we want the shiny numbers.
RAJIV PATHAK
मार्च 28, 2025 AT 18:07This match had the emotional depth of a PowerPoint presentation.
And Ryan Rickelton? He’s just another corporate athlete.
No soul. No history. Just stats.
I miss the days when cricket meant something.
