After 4 balls, de Kock finally opens his account with a single and Hendricks ends the over with a boundary. Remember, India had scored 3 of them in the opening over.

South Africa: 6/0 after 1 over.

Wide, 1, 1, 4, Wicket, 2, Wicket.

Overall, this has been an eventful last over of the innings, yielding a wicket for South Africa and 9 runs for India. Shivam Dube should be credited for the cameo he played here, scoring 27 runs in 16 deliveries.

This is brilliant death batting from Virat Kohli. The pressure is back in South Africa’s camp now, because Kohli struck a four and a six in the penultimate over of the innings.
