Arshdeep Singh's three-wicket haul followed by Suryakumar Yadav's 50* and KL Rahul's unbeaten knock of 51 helped India defeat South Africa by eight wickets in the first match of the three-match T20I series.
Yadav is up to a career-best-equaling second position with 801 rating points after smashing a match-winning 69 off 36 deliveries that helped India clinch the series 2-1
His form remains crucial for the Men in Blue heading into ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which India would want to win after a disappointing Super 12 phase exit last year.
