New Delhi. Team India’s winning streak continues in World Cup 2023. In the match played in Kolkata on Sunday, India defeated South Africa by a huge margin of 243 runs. Chasing India’s target of 327 runs, South Africa were bowled out for just 83 runs. Virat Kohli scored a brilliant century in this match. Middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer has also continued his brilliant performance. Iyer played an innings of 77 runs in this match. After Iyer’s brilliant innings, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif said that no one can play better spin than him.
While talking to Star Sports, Kaif said, “Shreyas Iyer plays spin very well. I have worked with him in IPL. According to me no player in Team India can play spin better than him. Because it takes both single and double. Hits sixes too. It didn’t matter how good the spin bowling was in the middle overs. Iyer keeps scoring runs from his side. Iyer also made batting easy for Virat Kohli.

Shreyas Iyer is in form
Shreyas Iyer made a comeback against South Africa and Sri Lanka after scoring just one half-century in his first 6 innings of the World Cup. He scored fifties against both these teams. Iyer scored 82 runs from 56 balls against Sri Lanka and 77 runs from 87 balls against South Africa.
The Indian cricket team has performed brilliantly so far in the ICC ODI World Cup being played at home. Rohit Sharma’s team has made it to the semi-finals by defeating big teams like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. India have won all their 8 matches played so far in this tournament. It will be interesting to see which team India will face in the semi-final match.
