Guwahati: Team India amassed a mammoth 237/3 in the second T20 International against South Africa here on Sunday evening.

After KL Rahul (57 off 28 balls, 5×4, 4×6) and skipper Rohit Sharma (43 off 37) gave the home team a rollicking start with a 96-run opening partnership in 9.5 overs, the red-hot Suryakumar Yadav once again took centrestage with a mind-boggling knock. The right-hander played some typically incredible shots all round the wicket to race to 61 off 22 balls with 5 fours and 5 sixes.
Both Rahul and Suryakumar had hit half-centuries in the first game of the series as well, with India winning by 8 wickets.
Virat Kohli played his part as well, remaining unbeaten with 49 off 28 balls.
