AS IT HAPPENEDChasing 279 on a track that was a bit on the slower side, but without any demons in it, the southpaw started off patiently and, once set, took the aggressive route, blazing away to 93 off 84 balls with four boundaries and seven sixes.

India vs South Africa 2nd ODI: As Team India's injury list grows, fight for backup fast bowlers gets intense in last two ODIs vs South Africa

The weather situation on Saturday here much resembled the condition of the Indian teams – the one that has left for the T20 World Cup and the ‘second-string’ side playing the ongoing ODI series against South Africa. With each passing day, injury concerns grow for the team management. This series may not be as significant from India’s point of view, given that the first-choice players are already training Down Under. However, in terms of finding Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement for the ICC mega event, the ODI series could have been the ideal stage. Even as it looks like Mohammed Shamiis the first-choice replacement for Bumrah, Deepak Chahar has impressed with his fine bowling in the T20I series. That could have just proved to be enough for the management to think of Chahar’s case if Shami misses the bus.

India face South Africa in a must-win second ODI at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi on Sunday. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side will look for a better batting performance when they battle it out against the Proteas to keep the series alive. In the first game, South Africa had set a target of 250 runs for India in a rail-curtailed 40 overs-a-side game but India remained 9 runs short of the guests' total. While Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer were impressive with the bat, other Indian batters failed to put in a similar performance.

Missing T20 World Cup berth is huge setback but lot of cricket still left in me: Shardul Thakur

Thakur did play the T20 format for India during the time Hardik Pandya was doing his long and intense rehabilitation program but poor economy rate of 9.15 has basically pushed him out of the national team radar.
