South Africa managed to win a thrilling final ODI to whitewash India in ODI series. However, the Men in Blue fell short by four runs, as the Proteas registered a 3-0 clean sweep, while the netizens were delightfully entertained.
Ater being put in to bat first, Quinton de Kock starred for South Africa scoring his sixth century in ODIs against India. The southpaw was in amazing touch on the day and didn’t let the Men in Blue dominate the proceedings especially in the middle overs. Rassie van der Dussen yet again looked solid in his approach. He played a perfect second fiddle to De Kock keeping the run-rate abreast. Yet, India came back well in the last 10 overs of the innings to restrict the hosts to 287.
In reply, Shikhar Dhawan (61 off 73) and Virat Kohli (65 off 84) played important knocks but India were in deep trouble at one point after losing quick wickets during middle overs. However, Deepak Chahar’s knock under pressure ignited hopes and kept India in the game till the time he was at the crease. Twitter has gone into a frenzy after India suffered a whitewash against the Proteas who were incredible under pressure.
