India and South Africa are currently engaged in the third and final match of the ODI series at Newlands in Cape Town. Indian captain KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bowl first, while making four changes to the playing XI in the dead rubber.

Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Prasidh Krishna and Jayant Yadav replaced Venkatesh Iyer, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and R Ashwin in the team, while hosts South Africa made one change in Dwaine Pretorius for Tabraiz Shamsi.

South Africa have posted a target of 288 for the visitors after Quinton de Kock scored 124, his sixth ODI ton against India and 17th overall. Rassie van der Dussen continued his great form with 52, while David Miller also chipped in with 39.

For India, Prasidh Krishna took three wickets while Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar grabbed two each. Yuzvendra Chahal also got a wicket.

India's chase will largely depend upon its most experienced batters in captain Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and former captain Virat Kohli, who is playing his first ODI series after losing captaincy in the 50-over format.

His long wait for the 71st international hundred has stretched to beyond two years and the fans will hope he gets it today to sign off from what has been a very disappointing and eventful tour for him and Indian cricket in general, on and off the field.

In attendance for the final match on the tour were Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma and their one-year-old daughter Vamika who have been on the tour with the cricketer from the start. The cameras captured Anushka as she held Vamika in her lap, as both looked on at the action from the stands.

Fans were jubilant to grab a glimpse of the daughter of arguably the most popular celebrity couple in India and were quick to share the clip.
