Heinrich Klaasen is one of the most dangerous batters in world cricket. He has the ability to take down any bowling attack in the world. So, when he was batting with David Miller in the third ODI and had target of 297 ahead, things look in South Africa's control. 

However, Avesh Khan produced a brilliant slower delivery which was backed by even better flying catch by Sai Sudharsan ended Klaasen's threat in the decider.

It was the second delivery of the 32nd over and Avesh Khan was smashed for a boundary on the first ball of the over. South Africa needed 123 off 107 balls at that time with six wickets in hand and Avesh Khan bowled a lovely fullish slower delivery on off.

Klaasen went for a drive but was completely outfoxed by the slower nature of the delivery. He ended up playing it early and the ball looped up in the air ahead of mid off. Sai Sudharsan though moved forward swiftly and took a great catch diving forward to send Klaasen back to the hut.

The wicket derailed South Africa's momentum completely and they just lost their way as Indian bowlers dominated the proceedings thereafter.
