India miss Virat Kohli's chasing masterclass: The India National Cricket Team have been handed their first defeat after a 12-match winning streak at the T20 World Cups. The Men in Blue lost their first game after 17-matches in ICC competitions by 76 runs against South Africa on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Suryakumar Yadav's side was bowled out for 111 runs while chasing a massive target of 188 runs. South Africa have their revenge in the 2024 T20 World Cup final, when India lifted their second title, beating the Proteas in Barbados. India has chased the 160 targets thrice in their T20 World Cup history.

The record run chase came back in 2014 against the same opposition, chasing 173 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, Dhaka. The other two were in 2016 against Australia, and the final one was against Pakistan. In all three of these occasions, it was Virat Kohli who was named as the player of the match.
