IND vs SA 3rd ODI: Mohammed Siraj gets two wickets in quick succession; Proteas in trouble after powerplay

Mohammed Siraj is once again proving to be a tough nut to crack for South Africa batters. The pacer has scalped two wickets so far as South Africa were reduced to 26/3 after the end of first powerplay. 

Meanwhile, Washington Sundar struck early, packing Quinton de Kock on 6 after India invited South Africa to bat first.

Janneman Malan, who played a few cracking shots, was then packed by Siraj on 15. A short delivery by Siraj dismissed Reeza Hendricks on 3(21).
