WATCH: Virat Kohli hooks Kagiso Rabada for a six!

Virat Kohli walked into the middle after Rohit Sharma was caught off guard, trying to hook one to the square leg boundary, but the ball got really big on him and all he could do his fend it away to Morne Morkel at fine leg.

South Africa had to come up with a plan against Virat Kohli, after he masterfully toyed with them in the 1st ODI.

Treating Kohli with some short pitch stuff was the plan devised by the South Africans and Rabada was at it from ball one.

Kohli got roughed up by one that hit him in the body, but then followed it up with a neat hook that took the ball sailing over fine leg for a maximum.

Match Situation:

South Africa were bundled out for a meagre 118 in the first innings, thanks to a brilliant 5-for from Yuzi Chahal, whose trickery and guile proved to be a little too much for the South African batsmen.

QDK and Amla had gotten off to a circumspect start initially, trying to cope with the sluggish nature of the Centurion surface.

But then it was a  procession, carried out by the wrist spinners from India.

India are currently stream rolling this chase, scoring at round about 6 an over. Dhawan and Kohli look well and truly settled at the crease and India look a far better ODI side than South Africa at the moment.

Of course lot of it has to with ABD and Faf not featuring in the middle order. With Faf already out of the series and ABD set to miss another ODI, India would be hoping to wrap this series up as soon as possible.
