Team India pulled off a series-clinching seven-wicket victory over South Africa in the third and final ODI at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday (October 11).
Opting to bowl first, the hosts bundled out the Proteas for a paltry 99 in 27.1 overs. Mohammed Siraj (2-17), Washington Sundar (2-15) and Shahbaz Ahmed (2-32) wreaked havoc on South Africa’s top and middle order by taking two wickets each while Kuldeep Yadav (4-18) ran through the lower order.
In reply, the Men in Blue rode on Shubman Gill’s 57-ball 49 and Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 28 off 23 balls to overhaul the target with 30.5 overs to spare.
Following the series win, the Indian team, led by stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan, had a crazy celebration in the dressing room.
Dhawan posted a video of the same on Instagram, with the caption: “Jeet ke bolo Tara ra ra”.
In the little clip, the Indian players can be seen dancing to the tunes of popular Punjabi song “Bolo Tara ra ra”.
