India Tour of South Africa - 2018

[Shivraj]

South Africa V India 6th ODI

Did you know?

- If India win the last ODI, it will be only the second instance of South Africa losing five ODIs in a home series. The only other time it happened was when they lost 1-5 with one tie against Australia in 2002.

- Virat Kohli has won 37 of his 48 ODIs in charge as captain - the joint-most by any skipper at the same point of time. Clive Loyd, Hansie Cronje and Ricky Ponting also had 37 wins under their belt after 48 matches at the helm.

- Post the 2015 World Cup, India' top three has faced 61.41% of balls and scored 61.80% of runs - both the highest for any side in the same period.

- Kuldeep Yadav needs three more wickets to become the highest wicket taker for India in a bilateral series. The current record is held by Javagal Srinath and Amit Mishra, both having taken 18 scalps each.
