India head coach Gautam Gambhir was furious with pacer Arshdeep Singh after the left-arm pacer bowled six wide balls in one over. The incident happened in the 11th over of the South African innings. After being hit for a maximum Quinton De Kock, Arshdeep tried to bowl away from the left-hander but ended up bowling wides.

Opener and wicket-keeper batter Quinton de Kock had been on a roll in the second clash in Chandigarh and thrashed Indian bowlers all around the park. He went on to score a half-century and thoroughly dominated the Indian bowlers to help South Africa get a quick start.
Earlier, South Africa were put into bat by India after Suryakumar Yadav won the toss. The hosts lead the five-match series 1-0 after they defeated South Africa by 101 runs in the first encounter.
