A determined 67 from Jacques Kallis helped South Africa register a five-wicket victory over India in the first one-day international in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
The experienced all-rounder and Ashwell Prince (46) put together a 91-run partnership for the fourth wicket, after captain Graeme Smith (48 from 36 balls) gave the tourists a rousing start in their pursuit of India's total of 249 for 9, to keep the team on top in the middle overs.
South Africa are now two matches away from breaking Australia's record of 21 victories on the trot. They are now unbeaten in 20 matches (17 wins, two no-results and a tie).
Earlier, the South African pacers took advantage of helpful conditions at the newly-constructed Rajiv Gandhi International stadium to reduce India to 35 for 5 before Yuvraj Singh and Irfan Pathan (46) revived the innings with a 75-run partnership for the sixth wicket.
Yuvraj scored 103 off 122 balls, inclusive of 10 boundaries and three sixes, after the top order failed miserably.
Harbhajan Singh sparkled in the final overs, playing a cameo innings of 37 off 17 balls, inclusive of four boundaries and two sixes, to give India a fighting total.
