Visakhapatnam/IBNS, Dec. 6 -- India produced a dominant all-round performance to defeat South Africa by nine wickets in the series decider at the ACA-VDCA International Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, sealing the three-match ODI contest 2-1.

The victory was marked by two defining moments - captain KL Rahul's animated celebration after winning India's first toss in 21 matches and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal leaping with joy on reaching his maiden ODI hundred.

Rahul's fist-pumping reaction at the toss reflected its importance, especially under lights where the dew factor heavily influences the game. Sent in to chase 271, India's top order delivered one of its most composed performances in recent ODI history.
