Jaiswal's Maiden ODI Hundred Seals India's 2-1 Series Win Over South Africa

A rare toss win let India bowl first on a dewy night, setting the platform for a nine‑wicket chase through Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna.

Overview

  • Yashasvi Jaiswal finished unbeaten on 116 in only his fourth ODI, becoming the sixth Indian with hundreds in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
  • Rohit Sharma made 75 in a 155-run opening stand and crossed 20,000 international runs.
  • Virat Kohli ended on 65 not out and was named player of the series after two centuries and 302 runs across three matches.
  • Prasidh Krishna (4-66) and Kuldeep Yadav (4-41) bowled South Africa out for 270 after Quinton de Kock’s 106, as KL Rahul ended a 20-match ODI toss drought by choosing to field.
