After dominating South African batsmen in the first three ODIs, Kuldeep Yadav went for quite a few runs in the fourth match and returned with figures of 51/2 in six overs. A strong showing in the fifth ODI would do a world of good to the youngster, who is also the highest wicket-taker of the series along with Chahal (12 wickets).
Yuzvendra Chahal
Like Kuldeep, Chahal was sent to the cleaners by the South African middle order and went for as many as 68 runs in 5.3 overs. However, the leggie would want to shrug that performance off his shoulders and look for wickets again in the fifth match.
