Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his first unbeaten century in ODIs, leading India to a nine-wicket victory in the final match and securing a 2-1 series win against South Africa on Saturday.

The outcome was almost certain once Jaiswal (116 not out from 121 balls) and Rohit Sharma (75 from 73 balls) formed a 155-run partnership in 25.5 overs, with India finishing at 271 for one in 39.5 overs, chasing 271.

Virat Kohli added a stylish 65 not out off 45 balls.

Despite Quinton de Kock’s impressive 106 off 89 balls, his 23rd ODI century, the Indian batsmen dominated the match.

Jaiswal initially struggled in his innings, but Rohit’s steady presence was a significant support.

Rohit guided Jaiswal, playing only his fourth ODI, through early difficulties and contributed the bulk of the scoring.
