Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav credited MS Dhoni for his successful exploits in his first outing on South African soil. Kuldeep was really successful as he picked up 3 wickets in the 1st ODI match, dismissing JP Duminy, David Miller and Chris Morris. Yadav and his fellow spinner Yuzvendra Chahal shared five wickets between them to restrict South Africa to 269 for 8, a target which India overwhelmed with six wickets in hand to take a 1-0 lead in the six-match ODI series. Yadav said that the former skipper eased 50 per cent of his workload by giving useful advice from behind the stumps.
