Meanwhile, riding on Suryakumar Yadav's 61, Virat Kohli's 49 and KL Rahul's 57, India put a mammoth total of 237 runs against South Africa. 

Earlier, South Africa won the toss and opted to bowl first. Rahul and Rohit Sharma gave India a fiery start. The opening pair's 96-run partnership was broken by Maharaj when the Indian skipper dragged a slog-sweep to deep mid-wicket. 

However, Rahul continued his attacking play and smashed 57 of 28 balls, before Suryakumar Yadav brought out full carnage of 360-degree shots to score 61 runs off just 22 balls.

In the final over, Dinesh Karthik applied his finishing touches with a four and a couple of sixes taking India to 237 against the visitors.
