India were going fine by the eighteenth over against South Africa in the final T20I when finisher Rinku Singh, batting on 14 with a six already in the bank, played a pull shot over the fine-leg region but unfortunately couldn't clear the fence courtesy of Tristan Stubbs who took a marvellous running catch at the boundary line.

It was the third ball of the 19th over, with the score being 188 for the loss of three wickets, when the fourth fell down as skipper Suryakumar Yadav, standing at the other end on 98*, looked at his partner getting dismissed.

Debutant Nandre Burger registered his maiden international wicket, while Stubbs got the limelight he deserved with that outstanding catch that caught many eyeballs worldwide. It was a shorter delivery that the left-hander nicely pulled away, and with initial contact, it looked as if it might just clear the fence, however, things didn't turn out the way later.

Rinku staying at the crease after that delivery would have been crucial to India since the southpaw is known to be destructive in the final few overs of the game, as he has demonstrated his ability before.

After the dismissal of Rinku, SKY went on to reach the hundred-run landmark in just 55 deliveries, with India ending their innings on 201 with three quick wickets in the end, meaning that the Proteas dismissed a total of seven batters.
