India captain KL Rahul led by example to help the hosts make the most of their last over against South Africa in the second ODI in Raipur on Wednesday, December 3. The wicketkeeper-batter slammed a four and followed that up with a maximum as India made 18 runs off Corbin Bosch's bowling.
Rahul began the over with a leg bye before Ravindra Jadeja smashed a four over mid-off. The latter then took a single before Rahul slammed a four and six towards mid-off and deep square leg, respectively. The skipper then ran two off the last ball as the Proteas registered their costliest over of the innings.
