- Story Text: Indian cricket fans hoped their team to win the third and final one-day international match against South Africa in New Delhi on Tuesday (October 11).
Shreyas Iyer had smashed an unbeaten 113 and forged a 161-run stand with Ishan Kishan to secure India's seven-wicket victory in the second one-day international in Ranchi on Sunday (October 09).
Chasing 279 for victory, India lost both openers inside nine overs but Kishan struck 93 and Iyer produced a career-best knock to help the hosts romp home with 25 balls to spare.
With faces and bodies painted with colours of Indian national flags, fans reached the Arun Jaitley Stadium to cheer for the players in large numbers.
"Today is a very good day for team India. India will win today and it will also win this series. I give my best wishes to team India," said a fan, Ram Babu.
The match will be a decider after the series was leveled with India's victory in the last match. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
