Team India’s middle order failed, then fans remembered Dhoni and Raina’s pair

India vs South Africa 1st ODI Rishabh Pant Shreyas Iyer: South Africa beat India by 31 runs in the first match of the ODI series. In this match played in Paarl, chasing the target of 297 runs, Team India could score only 265 runs. In this match once again the middle order of the Indian team proved to be a failure. After poor performance in Test matches, now India’s middle order is in bad shape even in ODIs. After India’s defeat, the fans remembered Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh.

Batting first, South Africa scored 296 runs in 50 overs. In reply, the Indian team could only score 265 runs. Rishabh Pant, who came to bat in the middle order, got out after scoring 16 runs. While Shreyas Iyer could only score 17 runs. Venkatesh Iyer went on after scoring just 2 runs. After the poor performance of India’s middle order, the fans gave Raina, Dhoni and Yuvraj for the middle order. Many tweets related to this were seen on Twitter.

Despite the defeat of Team India, Shardul Thakur is being praised, once again trending on social media
