News Gateway /  India beat South Africa / New Delhi /

India cruisedto a 5-1 series win against South Africa with Virat Kohli leading the chase. He scored his 35th ODI century and 13th as captain of India. India were chasing a target of 205 in Centurion in the final ODI and Kohli made 126* to finish the game with 17.5 overs remaining. The wickets of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan did not affect the run-rate as Kohli made runs at will. Earlier, Indian bowlers once again put on a good show and bowled out South Africa for 204. Shardul Thakur picked up four wickets while Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah picked up two wickets each. Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav had one wicket. The early wicket of Hashim Amla gave India a good start. Then Aiden Markram and Ab de Villers were looking dangerous together before Shardul Thakur removed the former. Zondo joined AB, who was soon dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal. Zondo scored 54 but South Africa never looked like playing out the 50 overs.
