VISAKHAPATNAM, India (AP) — Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden one-day international century trumped Quinton de Kock’s 23rd as India clinched the series from South Africa by nine wickets on Saturday.
Jaiswal’s unbeaten 116, beside Rohit Sharma’s 75 and Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 65 powered India to the target of 271 with 10.1 overs to spare.

They won the series 2-1 after losing the test series 2-0. The teams start a five-match Twenty20 series on Tuesday in Cuttack.
De Kock’s 89-ball 106 and captain Temba Bavuma’s 48 were South Africa’s only substantial innings before it was all out for 270 in 47.5 overs.
Medium-pacer Prasidh Krishna took the sting out of the Proteas with three wickets in three overs, including de Kock, after India ended a string of 20 lost tosses in ODIs since the 2023 Cricket World Cup semifinals.
