India vs South Africa prediction

India needed their senior players to come in and make a big impact after losing the test series, which is exactly what happened. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli combined to add 192 of India’s 349 runs accrued against South Africa, more than enough for their bowlers to defend despite the Proteas best efforts. The difference with those two in the line-up was clear for all to see.

Kohli struck a fabulous 135 and South Africa had no answer against him. The 50-over game is one that he has thrived in across his career and it would be no surprise if we saw a monster series from Kohli when it comes to accumulating runs. After such a good start, backing him to record over 34.5 runs in game two appears a smart play.
