South Africa: Ryan Rickelton, Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Matthew Breetzke, Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Ottneil Baartman

India: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul (wk/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna

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."

Arshdeep Singh, India's best seamer on display this series, starts things off. He has a couple of slips in place and Quinton de Kock facing him. 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.

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.

RSA: 18/1 (6)

South Africa were at 25 for one after eight overs. Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma hit 35 runs in the next three overs to prop up their run rate swiftly. That's what experience imbibes, playing according to the situation and pouncing on every opportunity. India introduce left-arm spin from both ends: Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav to try and combat the duo.

RSA: 67/1 (13)

Quinton de Kock sweeps Ravindra Jadeja for a six to get to his first fifty of the series and 33rd in ODIs. Meanwhile, with Prasidh Krishna going for 27 off his two overs, India are forced to bring in the part-time off-spinner Tilak Varma. De Kock takes toll right away, smashing a juicy full toss over midwicket for a boundary. Tilak adjusts nicely thereafter, only conceding two more runs off the next five balls.

RSA: 92/1 (17)

Ravindra Jadeja breaks the 113-run partnership between Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock, having the South Africa captain caught by Virat Kohli at point for 48. Matthew Breetzke has since walked in and played busy cricket to zoom to 22 off 15 balls, while de Kock is marching on towards a possible hundred.

RSA: 158/2 (26)

Just like his fifty, Quinton de Kock gets to his hundred too with an imperious six. The southpaw's love affair with India continues, as it is his seventh hundred against the Men In Blue. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna bounces back from the early stick he got by dislodging Matthew Breetzke and Aiden Markram in the same over.

RSA: 188/4 (31)

Prasidh Krishna continues to silence his critics, snaring the huge scalp of de Kock. The Proteas opener is cleaned up, but not after scoring a splendid 89-ball 106. Dewald Brevis has since been joined by Marco Jansen, and the duo is aiming to restore momentum to the innings after India's fightback.

RSA: 218/5 (35)

Kuldeep Yadav sends back the two-set batters, Dewald Brevis (29) and Marco Jansen (17), in the space of three balls to leave South Africa seven down and take ascendance in the match. Corbin Bosch and Keshav Maharaj now at the crease, and India look to limit the Proteas under 280.

RSA: 244/7 (40)

Kuldeep continues to befuddle the Proteas lower order with his high-quality spin. He keeps finding the pads and appealing for unlikely LBWs, drawing mirth from the straight-shooting Rohit Sharma. But the left-arm spinner does send back Corbin Bosch and Lungi Ngidi in quick succession to finish with superb figures of 4/41, as South Africa go nine down.

RSA: 263/9 (47)

Prasidh Krishna caps his fine bowling display with a reverse-swinging yorker that uproots Ottneil Baartman's off stump. Four wickets for the tall pacer, to go with Kuldeep's four-fer as the Proteas are bowled out for 270, with 13 balls remaining in the allotted 50 overs.

RSA: 270 all out (48.5)

It's a wayward start from Marco Jansen with the ball, as he sends down a couple of wides in the first over of the India innings. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma watchful against him nevertheless, with the ball moving around a bit.

IND: 8/0 (1)

Jansen follows up his awry first over with a maiden, as Jaiswal and Rohit make sure to see out the initial period without losing any wicket. Jaiswal eventually cuts loose, dispatching Ngidi and Jansen for boundaries to signal his intent.

IND: 29/0 (6)

While Yashasvi Jaiswal has gone back into a shell of sorts, Rohit Sharma is finding his range now. The former India captain takes the aerial route, as is his wont, and is not afraid to take risks as he opens his arms to up the tempo. The partnership is worth 59 and India still have plenty of time to chase down the 271-run target.

IND: 59/0 (12)

Rohit continues to surge ahead, staying busy with ones and twos and finding the odd boundary in between. Jaiswal is still not at his usual pace but the duo have compiled 90 runs for the first wicket, and India are squarely in the driver's seat.

IND: 90/0 (18)

Rohit Sharma gets to his 61st ODI fifty! The Indian cricket stalwart completes 20,000 international runs in the process and shows there is enough fire in the belly still. He continues from strength to strength after the milestone and is looking good for a hundred. His partner Yashasvi Jaiswal then gets to his maiden ODI half-century as India strengthen their hold on the match.

IND: 140/0 (24)

Alas, Rohit falls for 75, miscuing a slog sweep off Keshav Maharaj. He is angry with himself for letting a golden opportunity to score a match-winning hundred go by. But his dismissal brings in a certain Virat Kohli to the crease, amid raucous roars from the crowd. Jaiswal now into his 80s, meanwhile.

IND: 180/0 (30)

It's carnival time for the spectators as they are witnessing vintage Kohli in action. The Indian batting titan unfurls a number of aesthetically pleasing cover drives before smashing a rare look six over long on. Yashasvi Jaiswal then gets to his maiden ODI hundred to rejoice in Vizag. He becomes just the sixth Indian overall to score a hundred in all three international formats.

IND: 221/1 (36)

What a one-sided, yet exhilarating end to the series decider. Yashasvi Jaiswal stays there till the end and Virat Kohli is clearly in a murderous mood as India romp to the 271-run target in just 39.5 overs, having lost only Rohit Sharma's wicket. Kohli ends 65 not out off 45, finishing the chase in style with a lofted cut over cover point. Jaiswal pumps his fist in joy, unbeaten on 116 off 121 to help India seal the series 2-1 in Vizag.

Prasidh Krishna, who returned figures of 4/66 to help restrict South Africa to 270, speaks to the broadcasters after the game. He says: "It was really hard for me. There were poor balls and good shots. I had to think how to get back. That's the good thing about cricket, you get another chance.

"I tried to keep the ball at the stumps and bowl a good length. I wouldn't blame it on the dew or conditions. As players, we're expected to face tough challenges. A lot of credit goes to Arsh (Arshdeep Singh) and Harshit (Rana), how they start. That builds pressure. Then Kuldeep picks up wickets, think we've done well as a bowling unit."

Prasidh adds: "I was under pressure after last game. The chat was about what to do better. I know the areas to bowl. It's a matter of keeping it simple and being calm. The batting has always been good. The way they did it was special."

Virat Kohli is deservedly named Player Of The Series for his imperious display in all three games. He notched up 302 runs at a Bradmanesque average of 151, hitting two tons and an unbeaten fifty. Here's what Kohli had to say at the post-match presentation:

"Just playing the way I have, this series has been the most satisfying for me. Feel really free in my mind, whole game is coming together nicely. I've tried to maintain my own standards and make an impact. I can bat long and according to the situation.

"You have many phases where you feel doubt. You feel nervous, especially in batting where one mistake can cost you. It's a whole journey, getting better, becoming a better person. I can realise the negative thinking patterns, knowing and working on that helps the temperament.

"I'm glad to still be contribute to the team. When I play freely, I know I can hit sixes. Just wanted to push my boundaries and go well. The first innings was the best this series. I hadn't played since Australia, just the energy on the day helps take risks. That opened me up in a way I've not felt in a while. Grateful for how the games have gone. Happy Rohit and I can help the team even now."

The bowlers, led by Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna, did the job upfront for India. Yashasvi Jaiswal then saved his best for the last, ably supported by senior opening partner Rohit Sharma, before Player of the Series Virat Kohli teed off with a belligerent 65 not out.
