India beat South Africa in the third T20I. Captain Suryakumar Yadav produced a hundred of rare brilliance and Kuldeep Yadav worked his inimitable sorcery with a fifer as India registered a comprehensive 106-run series-levelling win over South Africa in the third and final T20I in Johannesburg on Thursday. Suryakumar’s 100 off 56 balls that contained seven fours and eight sixes and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s fluent 60 off 41 balls carried India to 201 for 7 after the visitors were asked to bat first. Indian bowlers, especially left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep (5/17), who turned 29 on Thursday, managed to hit better lengths to bundle out SA for 95 in 13.5 overs.

The Proteas, who were undone by the Indian spinners, were bundled out for just 95 in 13.5 overs. India had lost 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and a T20I on the trot in South Africa, a streak that started in the 2021-22 series ended on Thursday under Suryakumar, who is proving his mettle as the captain of the side in the shortest format.
