The skies are on fire. Indian team is on fire. They guarantee the pole position in the points table. They remain unscathed. They have done more to send down shivers to their opponents. No one wants to play India in this form. They are just too hot to handle. This was supposed to be the big battle as the top two teams squared off. But India have just shut it off well before time. SA didn't even last 30 overs. Total annihilation. Total dominance. Bring out more adjectives. Rohit set it up. Gill fell to a peach. Kohli had business as usual. Along the way equalled the great man by scoring his 49th ton on his B'day. Shreyas took his time and then took on the bowlers and Jadeja provided the final hurrah to propel India to 326. It always looked above par. But when SA came out to bat, we knew it was lightyears ahead of being par. Bumrah continued his unplayable form. Siraj nipped out QDK early as he chopped it on. Rohit summoned Jadeja early and he went on a wicket taking spree. Shami came in and picked up two and Kuldeep arrived to polish off the tail. The word clinical has found an apt sub in the form of this Indian cricket team. Just phenomenal.
