Men in Blue did well but in parts and on the final night AB de Villiers and Co. brought up their best game to win their first bilateral series over India. Here is the India v South Africa ODI series – Indian player ratings: Rohit Sharma 7/10: Rohit Sharma.

His highest score of 150 went in vain but Rohit Sharma is a bright point in the overall gloomy series for India.

He has notched up 126 runs at an average of 25.20 with 60 being the highest. A better application with a sorted shot making decision will help him break the jinx in the coming times. Virat Kohli 6/10: Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: BCCI) He notched up his 23rd century in this series, but Virat Kohli couldn’t lift India to a series victory against South Africa. He scored 245 runs at a healthy average of 49 with a match winning 138 as his best. The Indian Test skipper couldn’t save India from the blushes, as the visitors clinched the decider. Ajinkya Rahane 8/10: Ajinkya Rahane. (Photo Source: BCCI) The middle order batsman has improved a lot in the past 18 months. Rahane notched up 247 runs with 3 fifties to his credit. His temperament is promising and India will need him to fire in the coming tours. Suresh Raina 3/10: Suresh Raina. (© Getty Images) The Indian southpaw had a disappointing series. He went out during crucial stages as India had to bite the bullet. He scored 68 runs at an average of 13.60 with 2 ducks to his name. MS Dhoni 7/10: MS Dhoni. (Photo Source: BCCI) The Indian skipper had to face a lot of heat and more importantly he had no answers to the young sensation named Rabada. Dhoni scored 202 runs at an average of 67.33 with a best of 92*. Some say the blade has caught the rust, time will draw a fair curtain on this Midas man. Amit Mishra 4/10: Amit Mishra. (Photo Source: AFP) The Indian leggie played 4 games in this series picking up 4 wickets at an average of 54.50. He bowled 40 overs giving away 218 runs. Certainly India’s spinners have let the team down and “Mishi” is no exception. R Ashwin 5/10: Ravichandran Ashwin. (Photo Source: BCCI) India needed the man in form to strike for the hosts, But Ashwin’s injury didn’t help matters much He played the 1st ODI and picked up 1 wicket for 14 runs. Harbhajan Singh 6/10: Harbhajan Singh. (Photo Source: BCCI) The veteran off-spinner was more of a hit and miss throughout the series. He picked up 6 wickets at an average of 35.33. The “turbunator” will not be pleased with his performance, as he failed to use the conditions to his advantage. Bhuvneshwar Kumar 5/10: Bhuvneshwar Kumar. (Photo Source: BCCI) He played all 5 games and picked up 7 wickets at an average of 49.57. Kumar was expensive throughout the series and the death bowling woes didn’t help matters either. Axar Patel 5/10: Axar Patel. (Photo Source: BCCI) The youngster took 5 wickets for 195 runs. Axar Patel tried turning the tables in his favour but South Africa got hold of the young talent and exploited him in the final. Umesh Yadav 3/10: Umesh Yadav. (© Getty Images) The Indian pacer has been a flop throughout the series. The length has been wary while the line has been notorious. Umesh picked up 3 wickets giving away 123 runs in the two games he played. Stuart Binny 1/10: Stuart Binny. (Photo Source: BCCI) The Indian all-rounder played one game giving away 63 runs and scored 2 runs with the bat. India and Stuart Binny will have to walk the long road in getting the pieces together.
