Though it was a warm-up or practice game for the upcoming T20 World Cup, the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian had clear intentions — try to hit every ball for a six or at least four — against South Africa on Wednesday. And they executed it perfectly, posting 240-5 in their allotted 20 overs at the DY Patil Stadium.
The hosts hammered 19 sixes and 15 fours as the visitors managed just 33 dot balls.
