India’s home season under Suryakumar Yadav promised an aggressive ‘SkyBall’ brand of cricket, but South Africa have repeatedly found answers, holding a narrow 4–3 lead across formats on the tour.
After a dominant showing in Cuttack, the Men in Blue were brought crashing down in Mullanpur, where South Africa piled up 213/4, led by Quinton de Kock’s fluent 90. India’s chase never took flight despite Tilak Varma’s fighting 62, as early wickets and middle-order struggles derailed the pursuit.
With memories of a dramatic IPL blackout still lingering at the venue, Dharamsala could once again witness a turning point. India face pressure to respond, while South Africa will sense an opportunity to go 2–1 up....
