The Shikhar Dhawan-led side thus levelled the three-match series 1-1.

Mohammed Siraj impressed with figures of 3 for 38 in 10 overs, while Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur claimed a wicket apiece.

Here are the Highlights of 2nd ODI match between India and South Africa straight from JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi:
21:01 (IST)
IND vs SA Live Score: FOUR! India win
Shreyas Iyer hits a four through a square cut and India comfortably win the game by 7 wickets. They were always ahead in the game ever since the duo of Iyer and Ishan Kishan unleashed. While Kishan fell for 93, Iyer took India home with a well-tailored 113 not out off 111 balls.
A beautiful square cut from Shreyas Iyer for a four and he is now on 97 off 100 balls. India need 32 more in 50. Seems a cakewalk for them from here on.
South Africa have got the wicket of Ishan Kishan. Forget about the result of the game but they will be happy that they now have some time to rethink and restrategise in this game as Kishan never let them settle with his sensational stroke play.
Take it! It's another biggie from the bat of Ishan Kishan and guess who is at the receiving end... It's Anrich Nortje again, one of the premium South Africa pacers. Kishan is 92 not out off 82 balls.
IND vs SA Live Score: FOUR, SIX, SIX! - Ishan Kishan is on fire
This is insane stuff from Ishan Kishan, literally insane! He first pulled Anrich Nortje for an amazing four before pulling him for a sensational six. He then slammed the very next ball into the stands too for a big six. And in no time, he is on 86 off 76 balls.
Bjorn Fortuin bowled it fuller around off and Ishan Kishan whipped it with extreme power. The ball went high into the air but eventually covered the ground as well and fell outside the long-off boundary for a six.
IND vs SA Live Score: Iyer, Kishan race to their fifties
Ishan Kishan took a single on the third ball of the over to register his 3rd ODI fifty while Shreyas Iyer hit a four on the very next delivery to race to his 13th fifty in the format. India need 134 runs more to win off 146 balls. It seems their game to lose from here.
What a disappointing end to Shubman Gill's superb knock. He was looking in great touch but he eventually has to depart for a 26-ball 28 after handing a catch to bowler Kagiso Rabada on latter's bowling. It was a low catch and Rabada took it really well. India are two down now.
Wow! This is some shot from Gill. He got a fuller delivery on the off side from Wayne Parnell and punched it through cover for a four. This is his fourth four of the innings. He is looking in great touch today.
That's a beautiful cover drive from Shubman Gill for a four. It was a tad fuller bowled outside off stump from Parnell and Gill just showed it the full face of the bat for a four.
India have got off to a decent start in their chase of 279 runs vs South Africa in the must-win second ODI. The first over bowled by Bjorn Fortuin to Shikhar Dhawan was a maiden, while in the second over Wayne Parnell saw India fetching 8 runs.
IND vs SA Live Score: South Africa post 278 for 7 in 50 overs
South Africa have posted a decent total of 278 for 7 but you need to give credit to India for the way they have pulled things back in the last 10 overs. When Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks were batting, it seemed that South Africa will reach somewhere near 300 but Indian bowlers did a really good job to stop the Proteas at 278.
Short ball outside off stump from Kuldeep Yadav and David Miller played a beautiful shot on it. He rocked back and hit the ball through extra cover region for a four.
Live Cricket Score Updates: WICKET! Hendricks is gone
This is a big wicket for India as Reeza Hendricks was looking really dangerous, especially after his fifty. He tried to go for a lofted shot but hit the ball straight into the hands of Shahbaz Ahmed at deep square leg.
A poor ball down the leg side from Washington Sundar and Aiden Markram punished him with a six over deep square leg. The Indian bowling looks ineffective at the moment.
