Cape Town South Africa 8 Feb.: Virat Kohli’s Indian cricket team continued their dominant form in ODIs as they crushed South Africa by 124 runs to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the six-match series. Kohli’s brilliant, unbeaten 160 helped India reach 303/6 and South Africa were never in the contest once Jasprit Bumrah removed Hashim Amla cheaply. The Proteas, struggling for experience in the middle order, were blown away by the wile and guile of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. The legspinner picked up 4/46 while the Chinaman picked up 4/23 as India secured their third straight win. This is the first time that India have secured three straight wins against the Proteas in South Africa and they are closing in on a magnificent series win.
