Virat Kohli (160 not out) and the wr🌌ist-spinning duo of Kuldeep Yadav (4/23) and Yuzvendra Chahal (4/46) starred as India thrashed South Africa by 124 runs to win the third ODI in Cape Town on Wednesday.
Chasing 304 runs to win, South Africa were bundled out for just 1🎉79 runs. With the victory at the New Lands, India has taken an unassailable 3-0 lead🤡 in the series. There is no way they can lose the series now, but South Africa can come back and level the series if they win the next three games.
Twitter has lauded the effor✅ts of Kohli an👍d the wrist spinners while the South African batting was slammed for their poor outing.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
