Batting in South Africa vs India feels like a copy paste template today.
Tilak varma literally plays the role of Quinton de kock and other players have followed almost the same pattern in both the teams.#Indvsa #Tilakverma #Shubhmamgill #Suryakumariadav #Jaspritbumrah…– Sagar // Unserious (@unserioussagar) December 11, 2025
Quinton de Kock at 195 sr, pre IPL auction, slim. A person basically reminds of an offer that sends franchises 😂🙌 #Indvssa #IPL2026 #IpLAUCTAUTION #Savsind
