Team India bounced back to win the ODI series 2-1 against South Africa with a nine-wicket decider victory. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma continued their peak form, while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal seized opportunities. Revitalized bowling in the series decider and Washington Sundar's role sparked discussions, but the series win provided a timely boost after the home Test whitewash.
