Amla went for 22 and du Plessis departed in the 14th over, both bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin, but the skipper had hit five boundaries and two sixes in his 41-ball knock.

AB de Villiers could only make 10 but JP Duminy (45 not out) and David Miller (23 not out) combined to add 43 in the last 4.3 overs.

India's reply started in explosive fashion with Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane taking 33 off the opening three overs.

Sharma went soon after for 24, Rahane for 32. That brought Kohli to the crease and from there India never looked in trouble. Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina both contributed important knocks to keep Kohli company, but it was his show.
