Yuzvendra Chahal picked up his first ODI five wicket haul.
India dominated the first innings of the second ODI at Centurion, as they bowled out South Africa for just 118 runs, the lowest ODI total at SuperSport Park.
South Africa, who is playing without Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers, had no answer to the Indian spin twins Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. Kuldeep removed Markram and Miller in one over, after Chahal had taken care of De Kock. Bhuvneshwar had removed Amla for 23 runs when he inside edged to MS Dhoni. However, Amla chose to use the review and wasted it, as the replays showed a clear edge.
Kuldeep and Chahal then ran through the middle order, as Chahal picked up his first five wicket haul in ODIs- 5/22 and Kuldeep picked 3/20 in 6 overs. Bumrah picked a wicket also.
Twitter was in shock as South African lions turned into cats in front of Indian spin bowling duo.
Here are some tweets:
