The three-match T20 series between India and South Africa is tied 1-1. Trailing 0-1 in the series, Team India recorded a stunning victory by 106 runs in the final T20 match at Johannesburg on Thursday (December 14). Thus leveling the series. Batting first, Team India scored a huge score of 201 runs due to captain Suryakumar Yadav’s century. After that, ‘birthday boy’ Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja rocked the South African batting order. Especially Kuldeep broke South Africa with five wickets. Jadeja also picked up two wickets as South Africa collapsed for just 95 runs in 13.5 overs. Only David Miller (35 off 25 balls) and captain Aiden Markram (25 off 14 balls) excelled in the South African team. All the others were restricted to single digit scores. Captain Surya Kumar Yadav, who played a key role in India’s victory with a blistering century, was awarded the player of the match award as well as the player of the award for scoring huge runs in the series.
In this match, India lost the toss and went into bat and played aggressively from the beginning. Openers Yashaswi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill quickly added 29 runs in the first two overs and laid the foundation for a huge score. But in the third over, Keshav Maharaj shocked Shubman Gill and Tilak Verma by dismissing him in consecutive balls. Suryakumar Yadav, who came to the crease at this stage, along with Yashaswi, ran the score for Team India. Yashaswi (61 off 40 balls) played brilliantly and completed his half century. Captain Suryakumar Yadav scored the fourth century of his T20 international career. Thus equaling the records of Rohit Sharma and Glenn Maxwell. After that, India got off to a good start in bowling as well. Mohammad Siraj’s first over was a maiden, while Mukesh Kumar bowled to Mathew Britz in the second over. Wickets fell rapidly after this and the South African team reached the pavilion at 5 for 75 runs in the 10th over. After that, with Kuldeep and Jadeja’s booming, the remaining 5 wickets also fell within a span of 20 runs.
