South Africa vs India: In the ongoing 3rd ODI, South Africa were put in to bat first by the Indian captain KL Rahul, and Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen stitched a 100-run partnership. Jasprit Bumrah was brought back in the bowling attack and broke the partnership.

On the 4th delivery of the 35th over, Bumrah bowled a slower short of length delivery to De Kock, which the batter went back and pulled towards deep square leg. However, the South African batter managed to hit the ball with the bottom of the bat only and the ball fell short of the boundary rope. Shikhar Dhawan, running in from deep square leg completed the catch calmly in front of the boundary rope. 

This ended a fantastic knock by Quinton de Kock who scored 124 runs off 130 balls with 12 fours & 2 sixes while opening innings. While he was walking back towards the pavilion, Indian captain KL Rahul congratulated the centurion while Jasprit Bumrah patted his former Mumbai Indians teammate.

While talking about the match, South Africa was stabilized by Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen's partnership but after these two fell in consecutive overs, South Africa seem to be in a spot of bother. South Africa are at 228/5 in 40 overs and would be looking to finish the innings on a higher note.
