Team India stoped Proteas from their first ever ODI series win in India!

Ultimately Team India stopped the Proteas to win the ODI series in India. Nice show by Team India. Rahul Dravid led from the front with a gritty unbeaten 78 as India shrugged off the Eden Gardens humiliation with a five-wicket win over South Africa in the fifth and final cricket one-dayer and level the one-day series 2-2 in Mumbai on 28th of November. The credit should also be given to Irphan Pathan. After restricting the visitors to 221 for six on a difficult batting track, Dravid anchored his innings brilliantly to guide the team to victory with 15 balls to spare and prevent South Africa from recording their first-ever one-day series in India. This guy has improved a lot. Yuvraj Singh has also shown some brilliant show in this series.
