India won the trophy early on after winning the first 2 matches of the 3-match T20I series at home against South Africa. In the official final match held in Indore on October 4, after India won the toss and declared to bowl first, South Africa came into action and scored 227/3 in 20 overs. Captain Bouma was dismissed for 3 runs, but Quinton de Kock, who set up a partnership of 90 runs for the 2nd wicket, was dismissed for 68 (43) runs with 6 fours and 4 sixes.
Although Trishan Stubbs got out for 23 (18) runs, Riley Roseau, who started the game with 7 fours and 8 sixes, scored 100* (48) runs and David Miller scored 19* (5) runs with 3 sixes. Chasing 228 runs, India captain Rohit Sharma ducked out in the first over and then Shreyas Iyer cheated for 1 run.

Native India:
At that time, Rishabh Pant, who surprisingly tried to show action as the opener, scored 27 (14) runs and Dinesh Karthik, who made the most of the opportunity, was bowled out for 46 (21) runs with 4 fours and 4 sixes. As Suryakumar was dismissed for 8 (6) and the rest of the batsmen failed to score big runs against South Africa’s efficient bowling, India were reduced to 178 runs in 18.3 overs.
Pretorius took 3 as the maximum for South Africa. So the team won by 49 runs and completed the series with a consolation victory. India, on the other hand, were relieved to win a T20I series against South Africa for the first time at home, 2 – 1 (3) despite poor batting and bowling. So, despite going to participate in the World Cup in Australia with victory, India leaves without progress in bowling.

Rohit Pity:
1. Also winning the series, Rohit Sharma became the first Indian captain to win a T20 series against South Africa at home. He also broke Virat Kohli’s record (10) and set a new record (11) for the most consecutive series wins across all forms of cricket.
2. More than that, Ricky Ponting, the captain who recorded 50 wins in the fewest matches in international cricket, also broke the record and created a new world record. That list:
1. Rohit Sharma : 62*
2. Ricky Ponting : 63
3. Sarfiraz Ahmed : 68
4. Virat Kohli : 70

But chasing 228 runs, he got off to a dramatic start in the very first over which led to India’s defeat. Because in the end Deepak Sahar scored 31 (17) and Umesh Yadav scored 20* (17) runs, India would have easily won the match if he had scored 30-40 as an opening batsman. However, that did not happen and he was also ducked out in the first match of the series in Thiruvananthapuram.
1. So he made the worst historical record of being the first Indian captain to get 2 duck outs in a series in T20 International cricket.
2. More than that, he has overtaken Virat Kohli as the Indian captain for the most number of duck outs in international T20 cricket. That list:
1. Rohit Sharma : 4*
2. Virat Kohli : 3
3. Shikhar Dhawan : 1

3. He also made the unfortunate record of becoming the first Indian player to take 10 wickets in international T20 cricket. That list:
1. Rohit Sharma : 10*
2. Virat Kohli : 5
3. KL Rahul : 4
Also Read: The first batting was not good. Then the bowling is not good. But now – Themba Bauma is happy about the win
4. More than that, he also holds the worst world record as a batsman with single digit runs in most matches in T20 International cricket. That list:
1. Rohit Sharma : 43*
2. Kevin O’Brien : 42
3. Mushfigar Rahim : 40
