Markram powers South Africa to victory over India despite Kohli's 53rd ODI
century
RAIPUR, India (AP) --- Aiden Markram's hundred upstaged Virat Kohli's 53rd ODI
century as South Africa beat India by four wickets in the second game to level
the three-match series Wednesday.
The dewy conditions also favored the Proteas in their strong chase of 362-6
after India lost its 20th consecutive toss in ODIs and made 358-5.
Markram --- dropped on 53 --- made 110 off 98 balls with 10 fours and four
sixes and laid the platform with better than a run-a-ball second-wicket stand
with Temba Bavuma (46), who returned to lead the Proteas after missing out his
team's 17-run loss at Ranchi last Sunday.
"Happy to have crossed the line," Bavuma said. "Unbelievable game ... and it
showed how tough it is to play against this Indian side. A lot of confidence we
can take from this (game) and set up an enthralling series."
