Yadav, who returned with figures of 41 for 0 in three overs on Friday, went wicket-less for the third successive time in IPL and currently has seven wickets at an average of 50.29 in nine innings this IPL.

Shreyas Iyer scored a flamboyant half-century to guide India to victory over South Africa in the first ODI encounter on Sunday but a hilarious incident during his stay at the crease left everyone in splits. During the 9th over of the Indian innings, Iyer was facing Nandre Burger and while trying to play a pull shot, he lost his grip on his bat and it went flying towards square-leg. It landed ahead of the square-leg umpire and was returned by South African fielders as all of them shared a laugh. The video of the incident has gone viral and social media users have come up with their posts and memes. Pace bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan set up a convincing eight-wicket win for India in the first one-day international against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep took five for 37 and Avesh claimed four for 27 as South Africa crashed to 116 all out. Sai Sudharsan and Shreyas Iyer hit half-centuries as India needed just 16.4 overs to reach the target. pic.twitter.com/8fK6jOEgTs — rajendra tikyani …
