The legendary MS Dhoni has completed his 400th ODI dismissal, as the veteran keeper stumped Markram off a beautiful delivery from Yadav.

Kuldeep Yadav, who has been in terrific form in South Africa, got the South African captain off just his second delivery, as Markram was comprehensively beaten in the air and off the pitch.

Dhoni then took care of the rest, as he quickly whipped the bails off and sent Markram on his way. Yadav was quite happy and congratulated Mahi on his historic dismissal.

Mahi though underplayed his achievement and kept on advising the young spinner.

Earlier in the day, South Africa put India into bat and got off to a great start when they got rid of Rohit Sharma within the first over.

Rabada was fired up, as he bowled a fierce opening spell to Kohli and Dhawan. But the pacer did not get much support from the other bowlers, as Kohli and Dhawan put on their seventh hundred run stand.

Dhawan was all set for a big score, before he was dismissed at 76. Kohli though, did not waste any time as the Indian skipper milked the bowling attack to notch his 34th ODI century.

India eventually managed a total of 303, which should have been much more had it not been for a mini batting collapse in the middle overs.

Rahane, Pandya, Dhoni and Kedar gave away their wickets cheaply, as it left to Kohli and then Bhuvneshwar to boost the score past 300.

Kohli in particular was brilliant, as the Indian skipper scored a wonderful 160 on a placid Cape Town pitch.

In reply, South Africa were jolted by the loss of Hashim Amla early on, as the great South African was wrapped on the pads by Jasprit Bumrah.

The ball jagged back in and trapped Amla in front, as Bumrah got the wicket that India wanted early on.

JP Duminy then played a great hand, as he notched up his first fifty in the series, before he perished to the wonderful Yuzvendra Chahal.

The spin twins are at it again for India, with a third consecutive victory very much on the cards!
