India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd ODI IND vs SA: KL Rahul, steadily marching toward his fifty, teams up with Ravindra Jadeja to accelerate the scoring in the final overs as India look to post a challenging 350 against South Africa. Virat Kohli walked off visibly annoyed after falling for 102, handing the responsibility of pushing the innings ahead to KL Rahul. Before his dismissal, Kohli had been in irresistible touch, bringing up his 53rd ODI century, his second in successive games, as South Africa struggled to find any answers to his command at the crease.
Earlier, Ruturaj Gaikwad had already laid the platform with a fluent maiden ODI hundred, reaching the milestone in just 77 balls with sharp timing and calm authority. His partnership with Kohli flourished beautifully as the pair piled on a massive 195-run stand for the third wicket.
Gaikwad pressed the accelerator after reaching his fifty, unleashing a flurry of strokes, while Kohli watched on from the other end, clearly enjoying the momentum shift as India took control.
Earlier, Kohli brought up his third consecutive fifty, drawing an appreciative applause from head coach Gautam Gambhir in the dugout. Ruturaj Gaikwad has provided strong support at the other end, remaining unbeaten after reaching his own half-century. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to build on a promising start, dismissed for 22 under mounting pressure to leave India on shaky ground.
Despite the wobble, Kohli has held firm, anchoring the innings and steering the rebuild. Rohit Sharma, who looked threatening after cracking three consecutive boundaries, fell for 14 in the same over as Nandre Burger hit back to remove the Indian captain.
Put in to bat once again after KL Rahul lost yet another toss, India fielded an unchanged XI, while South Africa bolstered their lineup with the returns of Temba Bavuma, Lungi Ngidi, and Keshav Maharaj.
