Ishan Kishan walked in at No.3 and started his innings rather slowly, trying to gage the pace of the pitch first.Shreyas Iyer continued from where he left off at Lucknow as he kept the scoreboard ticking and proved to be an ideal foil for the southpaw. Once he was set, Kishan took the attack to left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj.Smashing him for multiple sixes, the southpaw put Maharaj under pressure and the latter had to take himself out of the attack. The wicketkeeper-batter got into his groove and didn't hold back when Nortje came to bowl, continuing the onslaught.Ishan Kishan was gutted after getting dismissed, as he was just seven runs away from his maiden hundred for India. However, he will know that he has played a crucial role in helping India keep the series alive.South Africa are under more pressure now, given how crucial every ODI is for them to qualify directly for next year's ODI World Cup. The decider will be played on Tuesday, October 11, in Delhi.
