India tour of South Africa, 2024

Since being promoted to no. 3, Tilak Varma has hit back-to-back T20I centuries in South Africa to seal India a 3-1 series win

India's total bristled with 17 fours and 23 sixes - that's 206 or 72.79 per cent - of all the runs the visitors scored on Friday

South Africa have lost 11 T20Is and won only 10 in this calendar year

After posting the highest-ever T20I total at the venue, India's bowlers were ruthless to hand South Africa an embarrassing defeat.

The India no. 3 hit his maiden T20I century off 51 balls, 68 runs of which were drilled in fours and sixes

India withstood late blitz from Heinrich Klaasen (41 off 22) and Marco Jansen (54 off 17) to take an unassailable lead in the four-match series
