Top 5 Indian performances against South Africa in T20Is 

#3 Suresh Raina 101 (60) at Gros Islet, World T20 2010

The World T20 in 2010 was an eminently forgettable one for India but the innings played by Suresh Raina at Gros Islet will forever be remembered for being one of the finest innings ever played by an Indian batsman in T20 cricket.

India were put in to bat first and lost opener Murli Vijay in the first over. That brought Suresh Raina to the crease and he played a kind of counterattacking innings that knocked the stuffing out of the South African attack consisting of Jacques Kallis, Dale Steyn, Rory Kleinveldt and Morne Morkel.

He was the last man out in the 20th over but during that innings, that lasted all of 60 deliveries, the left-hander hit 9 fours and as many as 5 sixes as India ended up scoring 186, a huge score in T20 cricket eight years ago. South Africa seemed dazed by the ambush and ended up losing the game by 15 runs.
