Dhoni pulls! Four! India have won! This is their first ever victory at Durban - a six-wicket triumph over hosts South Africa. And it was chase master Virat Kohli's (112) 33rd ODI century and his 189-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane (79) that laid the foundation of India's successful chase of South Africa's 269/8. But credit also to India's spin twins Chahal and Kuldeep who took five wickets between them to restrict the Proteas despite Du Plessis' 120.
