It is the third and final of the T20Is between India and South Africa, where both sides fight for different reasons after the home side emerged victorious in the second game, with the first getting abandoned due to rain.

While the Proteas side is playing to earn a prized series victory, the visitors are giving their best to level the series so that they don't move ahead with disappointment. And during this crucial encounter, India had to deal with a tough start.

The Indian side were cruising with 29 for the loss of no wicket after 2.1 overs when opener Shubman Gill was trapped in front of the wicket by Keshav Maharaj, which he didn't review and walked back. However, later, it turned out to have been missing the leg stump.

Therefore, the next batter, Tilak Varma, who is known for his outstanding strokes, walked in, but instead of trying to get an eye in, the southpaw holed out to mid-off on his very first delivery, managing a golden duck and hence giving South Africa and Maharaj two consecutive wickets.

He was basically trying to go over the mid-off region but, unfortunately, couldn't get the desired elevation when required, resulting in massive regret for the talented youngster.

However, the Men in Blue recovered well after that, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal both registering their respective half-centuries. By the time of writing, India were 131 for two after the end of 13 overs.
