Odi Series  

South Africa are scheduled to play three T20Is and as many Tests against India. They had won the T20I and ODI series but lost the Tests during their last tour of India (2015-16)

India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against West Indies after Virat Kohli’s 42nd ODI hundred while Chris Gayle broke Brian Lara’s record. In volleyball, India bagged a silver at Asia Under-23 championships. All these and more in MyNation’s Sportstop weekly sports review show (August 5 to 11)

"We are sorted combination-wise. We know our playing 11 going into the World Cup. There will be just one change based on condition. When Hardik Pandya will come back, he gives depth in batting and opens up options in bowling. We know where we are going. We are clear about our playing 11," Virat Kohli said after losing the ODI series to Australia

Australia, who were trailing 0-2 initially, made a remarkable comeback in Delhi to grab their first ODI series win in India since 2009. It is only the fifth instance that a team has won a series after being down 0-2. Usman Khawaja won the Man-of-the-match and Man-of-the-series awards

During the second ball of the 37th over, Dhoni ran out Neesham as the India wicketkeeper's presence of mind came to the fore. Dhoni sensed the confusion in the batsman's mind and quickly gathered the ball and hit the stumps.

Hardik Pandya's 45 off 22 balls also went a long way in India posting a challenging target and his two wickets later on showed why he is such an important member of the team.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who is coming back from a provisional suspension for his sexist comments on a TV chat show, could be included in India's playing eleven for the third ODI against New Zealand

India have a lot of players who can win the match single-handedly on their day and it is one of the key reasons why they have an upper hand heading into the ODI series decider at the Melbourne Cricket Ground  (MCG) on Friday
