IND vs SA 3rd T20I: India's bowlers showcased exceptional brilliance in Dharamsala, restricting South Africa to a paltry 117 in the third T20I of the five-match series at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday.

The Indian bowling attack, led by Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh, were the chief architect of Proteas' collapse, claiming crucial wickets. South Africa captain Aiden Markram was the lone big scorer for the Proteas, smashing 61 runs.

Undoubtedly, the most brilliant stars under a cool sky were India's fast bowlers, who procured ferocious swing and lateral movement with the new ball. It had its effect on the low-key power play effort of South Africa -- 25 for three -- and the phase contained just two fours.

Arshdeep bowled three deliveries that turned away from Reeza Hendricks and then jagged one back to trap the South African opener leg before with the help of DRS. Dewald Brevis was unfortunate to get castled while trying a release shot off a wide delivery from Rana.

Markram crunched a couple of lovely drives in between to keep the board moving, but Tristan Stubbs and Corbin Bosch exited in quick line to further derail the South African innings.

Chakravarthy cut open the lower-order with his abysmal bag of tricks as the pitch also persisted to deliver good pace and hold. The spinner also added the wicket of Marco Jansen to keep South Africa stapled to the mat.

Markram slammed his fifty off 41 balls with a slashed six off Rana, as the 18th over produced 19 runs.
