India (296/8) defeat South Africa (218) by 78 runs in 3rd ODI to win the series 2-1

KL Rahul has been terrific behind stumps for India. Easily the best keeper batsman atm in India.

If Pant or Kishan wants to get in the side, they have to play as pure batsmen.
 
South Africa 198/7 after 40 years. India surely but steadily inching closer to another series win.
 
Last time India won a series in SA. SA and India both played their A team. Only thing that was similar back then was Markram was the skipper.

Wonder if his captaincy is over-rated.
 
India's 2 teams are playing intra squad games.
This is 3rd team and it beat SA convincingly.
Hardik Pandya was right when he said something about depth in Indian Cricket.
 
Hope Sundar stays fit. This guy's perennial injury problem did not allow him to realize his full potential.
 
A clinical performance from India resulted in a victory, securing the series 2-1. Considering this isn't nearly India's full-strength team, it's an excellent result. Despite facing a challenging situation, India showed great effort with the bat, posting 296 runs. The standout performance came from Sanju Samson, who scored a prolific century, his first in international cricket. Although the total wasn't the highest, India bowled well, making it seem like a formidable target.

South Africa started well, with de Zorzi impressing with a fluent 81, and they were at 141/2 at the halfway mark. However, the tide turned when Aiden Markram's wicket fell, providing the opening India needed. They continued to chip away at the wickets at regular intervals. Despite a decent start, none of the Protean batters could establish a substantial partnership. Once Miller departed in the 38th over, India's victory seemed inevitable. Arshdeep Singh emerged as the standout bowler for India, finishing with figures of 4/30 from 9 overs.

At least SA had their core batting unit. This was a choke from SA.

They have been having chasing issue for a while. Botched it against Netherlands in world T20. Then did the same against them in world cup. Against India, almost bottled against pakistan, semi final. But from what i heard they wanted to get better at this a reason why they wanted to chase. I think that is a very good call as long term plan is important rather than series win.

You mean to say Kohli,Rohit makes India full strength?
Aren't India supposed to go through transition?

India had pretty much their best batting barring rohit pant and pandya. Their batting with the new lefties are much better. Washy is a very good talent.
Bowling though apart from arshdeep rest looks unconvincing. So indian reserve bowlers should be reassessed. I an sure they have better bowlers in the reserve that don't get chances like we do with parchi picks.

I don't think it's a good call.In first odi ,sa bundled out cheaply.So I think it's sa chance fm to improve ,they should have batted on difficult surfaces to build the resilience. He cowardly put india to bat .Now a days no body of thinking about long term, every one wants a clean slate.

But he was expecting us to fold like second match. As usual sa were not talking any chances.They never expected us to score more than 250 with that batting lineup. Yesterday even sa commentator's went quiet after 250 by saying ind scored 25 runs too many.

Arshdeep should be in the Test squad. But our selectors are convinced that Mukesh Marshal is better than him.
