South Africa vs India: In the ongoing 3rd ODI match, team India lost two quick wickets in an over after Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli etched a partnership of 92 runs for the 2nd wickets. Phehlukwayo dismissed Dhawan and then went on to dismiss Rishabh Pant for a golden duck.

Rishabh Pant was the highest scorer in the 2nd ODI between South Africa and India, missing his well deserved century by just 15 runs. However, in the 3rd ODI, where team India are chasing a target of 288 runs to avoid the clean sweep, Pant yet again went for a shot that the fans can criticize as 'irresponsible'.

On the last delivery of the 22nd over, where Dhawan was caught out on the 2nd ball, Rishabh Pant faced his first ball. The southpaw came down the track on his very first ball, and slice it straight to cover sweeper. Rishabh looked to make room for himself while charging down the track, looking to go over extra cover, but unfortunately gets it outside off.

This was the 3rd wicket loss for team India while chasing a target of 288. As this piece is being written, India are at 137/3 in 27.3 overs with Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer at the crease for team India, requiring another 147 runs to win and avoid a 3-0 clean sweep in the ODI series.
