A bad day in the office for Team India. Posting a total of 358 runs in 50 overs and still ending up as the losing side is something Team India could have never expected on December 3 in Raipur. South Africa chased down the huge total brilliantly and won the match by 4 wickets and 4 balls to spare. 

During the match, when India was the fielding side, they conceded a few runs because of poor fielding. In one instance, Kuldeep Yadav's midfield gifted South Africa a boundary. Team India players in the field were in disbelief to see such a mistake. Stand-in captain KL Rahul, Prasidh Krishna, the bowler for the over, and Kuldeep himself were all upset because of the misfielding. 

Meanwhile, the expression on Rohit Sharma's face caught every cricket fan's attention. Sharma, the former India captain, was staring at Kuldeep for a while with disbelief and probably with some anger as well. A sentence in the viral video reads, "Bacha gaya KD agara Rohit captain hota to..." And the caption of the post is, "The death stare Rohit Sharma gave Kuldeep Yadav after this misfield is actually killing me."

Watch Rohit Sharma's facial expression as Kuldeep Yadav misfields in the India vs. South Africa 2nd ODI match:

After the dismissals of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma, Team India was in charge in the first innings because of the batting brilliance of Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad. In the match, Gaikwad scored his maiden ODI hundred, and Kohli claimed his 53rd ODI century. KL Rahul, captain for the series of India, supported his team with a fifty-plus-run inning. 

South Africa opener and experienced batter Aiden Markram slammed a hundred while chasing the big target of 359 runs in the second innings. The middle order of the visiting side provides the batter the much-required support. Matthew Breetzke's patiently built 68-run innings played a crucial role behind the result of the match. Despite taking a couple of wickets, Prasidh Krishna was the most expensive bowler of the night for India.
