India vs South Africa Live Score, 3rd ODI: Overs 2-6

Arshdeep continues to bowl beautifully, keeping new batter Temba Bavuma and de Kock quiet. Harshit Rana, too draws a couple of edges to raise excitement. The first one flew over the slips, with the bowler wondering whether Ruturaj Gaikwad could have leapt and gone for it, and the next one going wide.

The attacking wicketkeeper-batter cuts the first ball to deep backward point to get off the mark. His opening partner Ryan Rickelton plays out three dot balls before Arshdeep nicks him off! India strike early.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 3rd ODI: What Captains Said At Toss

KL Rahul: "We trained here last night and the feedback from the coaches was that there was dew, but it didn't come in as early as Ranchi and Raipur. We were obviously planning to bowl second, keeping our track record in mind. I don't think it's going to play such a big part like Raipur and Ranchi.

"For me and from the leadership group, we're really happy with the way we played in the last two games. I know from the outside, 360 being chased down looks like a lot is going wrong. But considering the conditions and considering the way our teams are lined up, I think we did really well."

Temba Bavuma: "We would have bowled first. A good start upfront will set it up for the middle order, we'll try and put a competitive score on the board and then hopefully defend it. It's been entertaining, hasn't it? From the red ball stuff now to the white ball stuff.

"The crowd has come out and I'm sure they'll be rooting for the Indian side. Today is another important one and like always, we'll do our best to make sure we're on the right side of the result."
