IND vs SA: Watch - Ravichandran Ashwin Knocks Over Quinton de Kock In First ODI

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin marked his return to ODI cricket after four years with the wicket of South Africa’s best batter, Quinton de Kock.

India and South Africa are battling it out in the first ODI of the 3-match ODI series at the Boland Park in Paarl. Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to bat first on a slow surface.

They lost their in-form batter, Janneman Malan, very early in the innings to Jasprit Bumrah. De Kock and Bavuma then stitched a partnership but the runs came at a slow rate.

He got one to slide and go under the bat of de Kock, who was trying to cut hard on a surface that was showing signs of low bounce very early. Therefore, he paid the price for it with his wicket.
