Under the coaching of Ravi Shastri, India defeated the West Indies in all three formats and currently 1-0 up in the three-match T20I home series against South Africa.
On Wednesday, India captain Virat Kohli produced yet another masterful innings and remained unbeaten on 72 to help his team beat South Africa by seven wickets in the second Twenty20 International (T20I) in Mohali on Wednesday.
During his knock of 72 off 52 balls, the Indian skipper overtook Rohit Sharma to become the leading run-scorer in the shortest format of the game.
Needing 150 to win, India chased down the target in 19 overs to lead the three-match series 1-0 after the opening game was washed out.
