At the Wanderers Stadium on Thursday, December 15, Team India faced South Africa in the third Twenty20 International of the series, and they had a task ahead of them. In the decisive match, Team India had everything on the line after dropping the second Twenty20 International, and they delivered. But the Men in Blue’s near-injury scare was one of the game’s major thrills. Captain Suryakumar Yadav hurt himself during the second inning as he injured his ankle while fielding. After being carried off the field right away, the great batter did not return.
In addition, he was observed hobbling to the presentation ceremony following the game, where he disclosed the severity of his injuries. Fans breathed a great sigh of relief when the captain said the injury is not too serious and he should recover quickly.
“I am doing well. It doesn’t seem so bad because I can still walk. Reaching a hundred was an amazing accomplishment, particularly for a worthy cause. Playing a bold brand of cricket was one thing we wanted to check off our list. I’m very glad the boys had such character. A three- or four-for never makes Kuldeep pleased. A wonderful self-birthday gift,” Suryakumar Yadav remarked following the game.
India focused on winning the ODI series.
South Africa and India’s three-game Twenty20 International series ultimately came to an end. India entered the third T20I with business after losing the second match. After losing the toss, India elected to bat first in the opening over at the Wanderers Stadium, and they batted brilliantly.
Yashasvi Jaiswal struck first in the inning, scoring 60 runs off of 41 deliveries. In addition, Suryakumar Yadav demonstrated his class by reaching 100 runs in just 56 deliveries. India demonstrated their skill with the ball after amassing an enormous first-inning total of 201 runs.
India won the match by 106 runs after South Africa was bowled out for 95 runs by Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mukesh Kumar, and Arshdeep Singh, each scoring one wicket. India will not play South Africa in a three-match ODI series that begins on December 17.
