Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli finished the job for India after Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav put the breaks on South Africa earlier in the day, with the combined efforts of the players powering the hosts to a nine-wicket win in the third ODI in Visakhapatnam. India thus sealed a 2-1 win in the series, thus avoiding the blushes after having earlier been whitewashed 2-0 by South Africa in the preceding Test series.

Jaiswal on Saturday scored his maiden ODI century and his ninth overall in his international career as India chased down a target of 272 with 61 balls to spare. Kohli was at his brutal best as he blasted an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls. Kohli hit the winning runs with a four off the last ball of the 40th over. Jaiswal, meanwhile, was not out on 116 off 121.
