Former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni is well known for his lightning-fast stumping from behind the stumps, and during the first ODI between South Africa and India in Paarl, Quinton de Kock pulled off a brilliant to get ride of dismiss Rishabh Pant. The India wicket-keeper batsman scored 16 runs off 22 balls.
After winning the toss, South Africa decided to bat first in the first ODI of the three-match series at Boland Park in Paarl. The hosts suffered an early blow to their batting innings as they lost the wicket of Janneman Malan (6) in the fifth over.

However, the Proteas white-ball skipper, Temba Bavuma managed to churn out most of his form after the recently concluded Test series and stitched up a 204-run stand along with Rassie van der Dussen. Bavuma was eventually dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah after scoring 110 runs from 143 balls.
While, Van der Dussen played an unbeaten knock of 129 runs from 96 deliveries, and guided South Africa to a total of 296/4. In reply, India had a poor start as they lost the wicket of KL Rahul for 12 runs in the ninth over. However, Shikhar Dhawan (79) and Virat Kohli (51) partnered for a 92-run stand before the former fell to Keshav Maharaj in the 26th over.

@OfficialCSA why are we still playing Quinton De Kock? He doesn't want to play for South Africa. We need to give game time to players who give us their all.
