KL's men took a 1-0 lead in the series, beating South Africa by eight wickets in the first ODI at Johannesburg on Sunday. Arshdeep Singh's five-wicket haul and fifties by debutant Sai Sudarshan and Shreyas Iyer were the key highlights for Men in Blue. Last year in South Africa, India had lost the ODI series against Proteas here by 3-0, losing two close matches by 31 runs and four runs and the other by seven wickets.
