IND vs SA: India Equals The World Record For The Most Victories In A Calendar Year

India won the third one-day international by seven wickets over South Africa to take the series 2-1. Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar among others hunted in packs as the Proteas were skittled out for just 99 runs.

A slow Kotla pitch was the ideal surface for the spin trio of Washington Sundar (2/15), Shahbaz Ahmed (2/32), and Kuldeep Yadav (4/18), who bowled the right lengths to reduce South Africa to their lowest ODI total ever against India.

In the third One-Day International of the series on Tuesday at Delhi’s prestigious Arun Jaitley Stadium against South Africa, Men In Blue put on a brilliant performance that helped them win the series by a score of three games to one. After dropping the first game, the Men in Blue staged an incredible comeback to take the series 2-1.

Men In Blue won 23 T20 International matches under Rohit Sharma before the Australia 2022 T20 World Cup.

Returning to the third ODI match, pacer Mohammad Siraj (2/17) also kept up his strong performance to support his selection to the T20 World Cup squad. Kuldeep, a left-arm spinner who fell short of a hat trick, cleaned up the tail while Washington and Shahbaz picked up wickets in the front.

The second-string Indian team came from behind to win the three-match series 2-1, putting the calibre of the Indian white-ball team on full display.
