NEW DELHI: In a high-stakes encounter set to define the group standings at the World Cup, an unbeaten Indian cricket team is gearing up to face a red-hot South African side today. The clash promises to be a fascinating contest, with echoes of the past haunting the minds of Indian cricket stalwarts Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin, who were part of India's victorious 2011 World Cup squad.
The year 2011 still lingers in the memories of many cricket enthusiasts, a year when India clinched the World Cup title. However, one game stands out, the only loss in the entire tournament, a defeat against South Africa. The memory of an unheralded Robin Peterson smashing Ashish Nehra for 19 runs after an Indian batting collapse in Nagpur remains vivid, despite a heroic century by Sachin Tendulkar.
