Reasons behind India's success in the ODI series so far

#3 Indian top order in good nick

Shikhar Dhawan has been in fine form

The top four Indian batsmen looked in good nick. They took responsibility to take India over the line. This prevented the middle order batsmen, who were not in the Test squad, from being exposed to the likes of Rabada and Morkel.

Virat Kohli has been a treat to watch, getting his first ODI hundred in South Africa. Kohli has hardly put a foot wrong in the series and looked as if he wants to prove a point. Shikhar Dhawan, who was struggling in the Test series, has also struck form in the ODI series.
