Ravi Thakur - Monday, Dec 01, 2025Team India registered a resounding 17-run victory in the first ODI between India and South Africa in Ranchi. Virat Kohli's brilliant century and another fifty from Rohit Sharma helped the team post a strong total. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh combined to give India the match-winning lead.
But after the match, another thing is being discussed a lot on social media, the viral pictures of Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir from the dressing room.
After the match, photos surfaced of Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir in the dressing room, showing them having a serious conversation. These photos sparked a debate on social media. Everyone was asking the same question: Did Rohit and Gambhir have an argument?
However, it's not right to draw conclusions based on photos. Such photos don't reflect the full context of the conversation. The viral photo shows the two men talking.
India, batting first after losing the toss, scored 349 for 8. Virat Kohli, in his characteristic style, scored 135 runs, including 11 fours and 7 sixes. Rohit Sharma provided a quick start with 57 runs. Captain KL Rahul made a crucial contribution of 60 runs. After the batsmen's impressive performance, the bowlers also lived up to expectations, restricting South Africa to 332 runs.
Kuldeep Yadav took four wickets and troubled the opposition batsmen. Harshit Rana turned the match around with two big wickets in the opening over. Arshdeep Singh also took two crucial wickets.
Matthew Bretzke (72), Marco Jansen (70), and Corbin Bosch (67) kept South Africa in the match, but the Indian bowlers' accurate line and length ultimately did the trick.
