India and South Africa clashed in the third and final ODI of the series on December 6, 2025. This match is being played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, with the series tied 1-1.
KL Rahul won the toss, ending India’s 20-ODI toss losing streak that began in the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023 in Mumbai.
Quinton de Kock hammered 106 in 89 balls with 8 fours and 6 sixes, while Temba Bavuma made 48 runs, adding 113 runs for the second wicket. Matthew Breetzke looked good for his 24, and Dewald Brevis made 29 runs.
But then Indian bowlers came to the party, with Prasidh Krishna recovering from being hammered and taking three wickets in the middle, finishing with 4/66. Then Kuldeep Yadav picked up the big wickets of Brevis, Marco Jansen, and Corbin Bosch to end with figures of 4/41.
In one of the most humorous moments in the match, after Kuldeep dismissed Bosch caught and bowled, Virat Kohli came to congratulate him and, in the moment, began doing a couple dance with him with a stone face, which made Kuldeep smile as well.
