A very crucial match in Vizag between India and South Africa. To win the 3-match ODI series, which is now tied at 1-1, Team India have to win the third match to claim the series. Ahead of the match at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium, Rishabh Pant was bowling to Virat Kohli in a net session.

Ahead of the IND vs SA 3rd ODI match, a video is surfacing on the internet. In the video we can see Pant was doing some spin bowling against Virat Kohli in the nets. The video captured only one delivery of Pant. The delivery from Pant did not trouble Kohli at all, as he swung the bat and lofted the ball.

Virat Kohli has been in great form since the beginning of the series. In two back-to-back games, the batting maestro smashed two consecutive centuries. On November 30, when India faced South Africa for the first ODI in Ranchi, the 37-year-old played a 135-run innings. In the following match, which was in Ranchi, Kohli scored 102 runs.

The defeat in the second match may still sting the Men in Blue, as they failed to protect the total of 358 runs against the touring team. Along with Virat, Ruturaj Gaikwad also got a century in that match. It was Gaikwad's maiden ODI century. South Africa opener Aiden Markram's tonne and the collective effort from the entire middle order made the massive run chase possible for South Africa.

The ongoing ODI series also turned into a prestige fight for India as South Africa whitewashed them in the 2-match Test series. For the final match of the 50-over series, the hosts must put some effort into improving their bowling performance.
