10 Best Individual Performances in Ind-SA ODIs

#9 Hansie Cronje, 10-0-32-5, Cape Town, 1992

Cronje put in an all-round performance to lead the Proteas to victory

A future great, the young Cronje showed his bowling prowess in that game after India’s openers added 92 runs. The hallmark of this bowling performance was the two double strikes. In the 28th over, Cronje got both W Raman and Ajay Jadeja to end India’s good start.

He came back in the 42nd over to break the backbone of the Indian middle order, getting Sanjay Manjrekar and Praveen Amre within the space of two balls. The spell is still the third best in all Ind-SA ODI games even though it has been more than two decades since Cronje turned in that performance. South Africa chased down 185 in the last over, Cronje scoring 12 in five balls to clinch the deal.
