Lightning and stormy weather temporarily suspended the fourth ODI between India and South Africa at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. India were 200/2 in 34.2 overs when the umpires deemed it unsafe for play to continue and called for the covers.
Batting first after winning the toss, India opener Shikhar Dhawan and skipper Virat Kohli put on 158 runs for the second wicket in the fourth match of the six-match series.
Opener Rohit Sharma's woeful batting form continued, getting caught-and-bowled brilliantly by Kagiso Rabada for five runs. However, Dhawan, who already has two half-centuries to his credit in the last three matches, carried on his rich vein of form hitting his 13th century in his 100th ODI. He became the first Indian to score a hundred in his 100th match.
Kohli, however, was dismissed for 75 off Chris Morris.
Right-handed batsman Shreyas Iyer came in for all-rounder Kedar Jadhav, who did his hamstring in the last game in Cape Town.
For South Africa, AB de Villiers is back into the team for Khaya Zondo while pacer Morne Morkel will replace Imran Tahir.
The Virat Kohli-led side is leading the series 3-0 and will aim to make history by winning the game and, eventually, the six-match series, as India have never won a series in South Africa.
On the other hand, the hosts will aim to keep the series alive. History favours the Proteas as they haven't lost a match on the Pink Day.
"We weren't sure what to do, we were leaning towards bowling first. Lots of could've, would've and should've in this game. The pink has brought us some luck," stand-in-skipper Aiden Markram said after the toss.
