India captain Shikhar Dhawan said the team's plan to take on the South African bowlers in the first ten overs of the run chase clicked as the hosts notched a comfortable seven-wicket win in the second ODI to level the three-match series in Ranchi on Sunday. India chased down the target of 279 with 25 balls remaining, riding on a brilliant 113 not out off 111 balls from Shreyas Iyer and 93 from Ishan Kishan. "The ball was coming on nicely but it was keeping low. So our plan was to take on the bowlers in the first ten overs," Dhawan said at the post-match presentation.
Shreyas Iyer struck a sublime century while Ishan Kishan displayed his brute force against a formidable South African attack to set up a series levelling seven-wicket win for India in the second ODI here on Sunday. Mohammed Siraj led an inexperienced Indian bowling lineup brilliantly to restrict South Africa to 278/7 after the visitors opted to bat. Iyer made his second ODI hundred (113 not out off 111) and shared a match winning 161-run stand with Kishan (93 off 84) to ensure a comfortable win in 45.5 overs for a second string Indian team.

Iyer made his second ODI hundred (113 not out off 111) and shared a match winning 161-run stand with Kishan (93 off 84) to ensure a comfortable win in 45.5 overs for a second string Indian team. As it happened: India vs South Africa, 2nd ODIThe 24-year-old Kishan looked a transformed batter and showed different layers of his batting by switching to beast mode after a responsible start. The lefthander smashed seven sixes and four boundaries in his career-best knock from 84 balls, while Iyer played the perfect foil. The designated vice-captain of the series, Iyer, has been in top form in ODIs, having slammed one century and four fifties in his last six innings.

Cricket South Africa's premier T20 competition will get underway on January 10 next year and six teams -- MI Cape Town, Durban Super Giants, Johannesburg Super Kings, Paarl Royals, Pretoria Capitals and SunRisers Eastern Cape will be participating in the tournament. All six franchises have owners who have teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the competition is being touted as the next big thing in terms of T20 cricket. As there are only 90 odd days to go for the competition, former South Africa spinner Robin Peterson, who is also the general manager of MI Cape Town, spoke to NDTV on what to expect from the tournament.
The suspense of Jasprit Bumrah's replacement in the T20 World Cup 2022 still remains. Mohammed Shami, Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Siraj all remain in the fray but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to zero-in on the name of the player who will replace Bumrah. Though those in the know feel that Shami is the frontrunner to replace Bumrah, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar feels Siraj is 'really pushing' the veteran pacer for the spot.
