India vs South Africa: Prithvi Shaw's Cryptic Post After Snub From India Squad For South Africa ODIs

Young explosive batter Prithvi Shaw was once again left out as India on Sunday announced their squad for the three-match ODI series against South Africa that is set to start on Thursday. The 22-year-old took to Instagram later in the day to share a cryptic message on his stories, that has since gone viral on social media. "Don't trust their words, trust their actions, because actions will prove why words are meaningless," he wrote in the message shared on Instagram stories.

India vs South Africa 3rd T20I: Series in bag but Team India faces stern bowling test

Having sealed their first-ever series against South Africa at home, India can afford to rest a few of their key players but the hosts will be determined to put up a complete performance before they take the flight to Australia on October 6. Since their early exit from the T20 World Cup 12 months ago, the Indian batting has come a long way and looks formidable ahead of the next edition beginning later this month.

India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I: "Surprised" KL Rahul Says Suryakumar Yadav Should Have Been Player Of The Match

The second T20I between India and South Africa at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati saw some incredible batting performances. KL Rahul first hit a 28-ball 57 to give India a great start along with Rohit Sharma, who made a more sedate 43. Suryakumar Yadav then went berserk, smashing 61 off 22 and Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 49 off 28 as India made 237/8. Even though South Africa ended up on the losing side, David Miller played a knock for the ages, almost single-handedly taking the visitors to a miraculous victory with his 47-ball 106*.

India vs South Africa, 2nd T20I: David Miller batted beautifully and I loved it, says Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav appreciated the superb century scored by South African David Miller in the second T20I here on Sunday, which India won by 16 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Half-centuries from Surya (61) and KL Rahul (57), along with equally blistering knocks by Rohit Sharma (43) and Virat Kohli (49 not out), laid the foundation of India's win, which was at one stage threatened by Miller (106 not out), who smashed his second T20I hundred but was not able to take his team across the line. After posting a mammoth 237/3 on the board, India survived some nervous moments in the death overs before restricting South Africa to 221/3 for a close win.

Not much to worry about, Australians won title despite struggles before World Cup: David Miller

World Cup as he cited Australia's title triumph in the previous edition despite their wretched run ahead of the big-ticket event. South African top-order batters struggled badly while their bowlers were also not at their best on Sunday as India took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series with a 16-run win in the second game here. The loss will hurt them little, said Miller, saying Australia had also struggled badly in 2021 but eventually they became the world champions. Australia had entered the World Cup after five back-to-back series defeats in the format.
