India vs South Africa: Ashwin, Arshdeep give India series lead over South Africa

In a low scoring game India crushed South Africa by 8 wickets in the first T20I. Opener KL Rahul top-scored for the hosts with his 51-run knock while Suryakumar Yadav scored 50 runs.

With this win, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team have gone 1-0 in the three-match T20I series.

Earlier with superb bowling performances of Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar and Ravichandran Ashwin, India restricted South Africa at 108/8 in 20 overs. Keshav Maharaj top-scored for his team with a 41-run knock while Aiden Markram scored 24.

It was a perfect day for young over Arshdeep Singh who picked up three wickets. Deepak Chahar who was making his comeback to the team picked two wickets. While Ashwin bowled a magical spell by giving just eight runs in his four overs.

Arshdeep (3/32) and Chahar (2/24) justified Rohit Sharma’s call to bowl first as they scythed through South Africa’s top-order in picking five wickets on the first 15 balls of the innings.

With movement in the air for the left-right pace bowling duo, South Africa batters were unable to move their feet well and fell like a deck of cards, with their scores resembling a binary code.

The second T20I will be played in Guwahati on October 2.
