SA stun India with commanding run-chase

SA 362-6 (49.2 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

South Africa had to claw back all night. First after Kohli and Gaikwad's twin tons. Then when Markram's brilliant 110 ended. And again when wickets tumbled just as Breetzke and Brevis had seized control. They even survived two hamstring setbacks, with de Zorzi limping back to fight on.

Yet through every twist, the Proteas stayed ice-cold. Dew helped, India's fielding faltered -- but this chase was built on South Africa's own clarity, nerve and execution.

A clinical, commanding pursuit that levelled the series and underlined their resilience and depth under pressure.

Ro-Ko look to light up Raipur

Hello and welcome to the coverage of the 2nd ODI between India and South Africa from the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur.

All eyes, once again, are on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the evergreen pillars of India's ODI setup.

With both superstars now dedicating themselves solely to this format in the twilight of their careers, every appearance feels special and every innings carries a sense of occasion.

Their recent form only adds to the build-up: Rohit's authoritative century to close out the Australia series and Kohli's return to three figures on Sunday have reignited the Ro-Ko aura that still shapes India's white-ball identity.

A packed Raipur crowd, witnessing only its third international game, will be hoping the two legends light up the stage yet again.

For fans in Raipur, hosting only its third international match, this could be a rare chance to witness the duo's brilliance live before time inevitably runs its course.

India will also look for stronger returns from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, while South Africa buoyed by spirited efforts from Breetzke, Jansen and Bosch know stopping the Ro-Ko juggernaut is essential to keep the series alive.
