Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and wicketkeeper KL Rahul urged captain Rohit Sharma to take a DRS call which eventually led to South African batter Heinrich Klaasen's wicket. After another stunning batting performance, the Men in Blue came out to defend the 327-run target against an in-form Proteas batting.

Continuing their stellar form, the Indian bowlers reduced South Africa to 35-4 in 9.5 overs. Further piling on the misery, Ravindra Jadeja came back for his third over and gave away just three runs in his first four balls. Then on his fifth delivery, Jadeja managed to hit the in-form Henrich Klassen on the pads.

Immediately after the ball hit the pads, Jadeja went up to appeal and was convinced that he had got his man. Hence, the left-armer went to Rohit Sharma, who seemed apprehensive about taking the DRS. But after big requests from Jadeja and KL Rahul, Sharma reluctantly took the review.
Moments later, Sharma's DRS worked in India's favour and Klassen was given out. As the big screen displayed OUT, Jadeja and Rahul jumped up in joy with the Indian team. A similar incident occurred in the next over as well where Sharma was pushed to take the DRS which worked in India's favour.
