Virat Kohli's decision to bat after winning the toss in third Twenty20 International (T20I) in Bengaluru didn't pay off as India could only score 134/9 in their stipulated 20 overs. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan got India off to an explosive start but Rohit once again couldn't build on to the start like last game and fell on nine runs. Skipper Virat Kohli also couldn't repeat his last match' performance and fell on exact same score as Rohit. Dhawan top-scored for India with his 25-ball 36. South Africa skipper Quinton de Kock led his side's chase from the front and remained unbeaten on 79 off just 52 balls, helping his side chase down the total with over more than three overs to go. (SCORECARD)
