However, the Proteas captain, Temba Bavuma, and Quinton de Kock made a decent partnership of 39 runs for the second wicket before the latter fell to R Ashwin in the 16th over. After R Ashwin got the crucial wicket of Quinton de Kock, Virat Kohli came towards the off-spinner and was seen hugging him tightly to express the happiness of the moment.

The South Africa opening batsman, who was looking in a good touch was clean bowled by R Ashwin with a peach of a delivery that knocked off the off-stump. Later, Aiden Markram (4), who walked out to bat after the dismissal of de Kock was run out by Venkatesh Iyer with a direct hit at the stumps.
