Dhoni's strike rate better than rest of India (1:49)

Check out the statistical highlight of the match between India and South Africa in Indore (1:49)

4-0 India's ODI win-loss record at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. They've beaten England twice, and West Indies and South Africa once each. Three of those four wins have come when they've batted first.

17-7 South Africa's win-loss record when chasing targets between 230 and 260 since the beginning of 2005. India have a 7-9 win-loss record when defending totals between 230 and 260 in ODIs during this period.

107 MS Dhoni's strike-rate in this innings (92 off 86 balls); the other Indian batsmen had a combined strike rate of 66 (142 off 215).

20 Man-of-the-Match awards in ODIs for MS Dhoni. The last time he won one was in the final of the Tri-Nation Series against Sri Lanka in Port of Spain in July 2013, when he scored 16 off the last over. Dhoni has equalled Kohli's MoM tally, and is now joint fifth among Indians - only Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag have won more awards. (Dhoni has won 19 MoM awards when playing for India, and one when playing for Asia XI.)

4 The number of sixes Dhoni struck in his unbeaten 92. The last time he hit as many sixes in an ODI innings was two years ago, in November 2013 against West Indies in Visakhapatnam. In between these two innings, he struck only 19 sixes in 26 ODI innings.

3-39 Axar Patel's bowling figures, his best in ODIs; his previous best was 3 for 40, against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad last year.

12 Number of successive ODI innings in which Virat Kohli hasn't reached 50; he has averaged 27 in these innings. His previous longest ODI streak without a 50 was seven innings.

10 Number of times, out of his 14 fifty-plus scores, that Rahane has been dismissed between 50 and 75. In nine of those ten innings, he has either opened the batting or come in at three. His last three 50-plus scores have been 63, 60 and 51.

4.47 Imran Tahir's economy rate in ODIs in 2015. Among the 26 bowlers who've bowled at least 100 overs this year, only three - Daniel Vettori, R Ashwin and Trent Boult - have a better economy rate.

146.6 AB de Villiers' average in his last nine ODI innings in India before today, at a strike rate of 121. He scored five centuries in those nine innings, of which four were unbeaten ones. His lowest score in those nine innings was 25.

10 Number of times the No. 6 batsmen from both teams have been dismissed for zero in an ODI - Suresh Raina and David Miller were both out for ducks in this match. The last time this happened was almost seven years ago, in an ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Lahore.
