India Vs South Africa 2nd ODI: Markram's Masterclass Powers Proteas To Series-Levelling Win

South Africa levelled the ODI series with a thrilling four-wicket win over India in Raipur during the second match on Wednesday. Asked to chase 359, the visitors rode on Aiden Markram's superb century and crucial half-centuries from Matthew Breetzke and Dewald Brevis to better India's total of 358/5 with four balls to spare. Earlier, Virat Kohli (102) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (105) struck brilliant centuries, while skipper KL Rahul added 66 to power the hosts' innings. Despite wickets from Prasidh Krishna and Arshdeep Singh, South Africa held their nerve to clinch victory. With the series now tied 1-1, the third ODI at Vishakhapatnam will act as the decider.
