3rd ODI: Yashasvi, Rohit, Virat explode into action after fine bowling as India thrash SA, win series 2-1
In Visakhapatnam on Saturday, India wrapped up a 2‑1 ODI series win against South Africa, a comeback that followed a 0‑2 defeat in the Tests. Yashasvi Jaiswal made history by scoring his first century across all three formats, finishing unbeaten on 116 off 121 balls, while Rohit Sharma contributed a solid 75 and Virat Kohli finished with a quick 65 not out. Their partnership of 116 for the second wicket helped India chase a modest target of 271, topping the scoreboard at 271/1 in just under 40 overs. The match saw India dominate from the start: after Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna each took four wickets, the hosts dismantled South Africa’s lineup, who were all out for 270. De Kock’s 106, Bavuma’s 48 and Brevis’s 29 were the best scores for the visitors, but the Indian bowlers, especially Kuldeep and Prasidh, pulled them back in the middle overs and took crucial wickets, including a spectacular dismissal of the opener. This victory marks India’s tenth consecutive ODI series win on home soil.
