Team India celebrated Virat Kohli’s birthday and Ravindra Jadeja’s match-winning performances with a cake-cutting ceremony after their record win over South Africa in the ICC World Cup 2023 match in Kolkata. Kohli scored a record 49th ODI hundred on his 35th birthday, while Jadeja claimed five wickets in India’s 243-run victory.
In a video of the ceremony that is currently gaining widespread attention on social media, Jadeja is seen offering Kohli a slice of cake, but Kohli playfully hesitates, resulting in a humorous moment. India’s performance against South Africa was a stark demonstration of the gap between the host nation and the rest of the teams in the tournament. The Proteas were bowled out for a mere 83 runs, marking their lowest-ever total in a 50-over World Cup match.
