South Africa & India were engaged in a tense encounter in the second ODI at Indore where the Indian team held their nerves to pull off an unlikely victory as they defeated the Proteas by 22 runs.
Batting first, India managed to score a respectable 247 for 9, thanks to a resilient knock of 92 in just 86 balls by MS Dhoni. South Africa were coasting along until they crumbled under pressure. Axar Patel (3/39 in 10 overs) & Virat Kohli ( 3 catches ) were the star performers of the 2nd innings, as India leveled the Series.

India lost matches with Rohit Sharma scoring big. Rohit Sharma decided to not score runs so that India wins. What a man! Legend!
