With the tour coming to an end, Indian players decided to take some time off and switch their cricket bat with the golf stick.

Centurion: After losing the Test series 1-2, Indian cricket team has been on a roll ever since the beginning of the ODI series against South Africa.

Virat Kohli and co have changed gears in the shorter formats of the game to completely blow out the Proteas in their own backyard.

The Men in Blue won the six-match ODI series 5-1 and have already gained upper hand in the three-match Twenty20 series, by winning the first game at Johannesburg by 28 runs.

With the tour coming to an end, Indian players decided to take some time off and switch their cricket bat with the golf stick.

Team India opener Rohit Sharma, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik, leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and batting coach Sanjay Bangar enjoyed themselves by playing golf to keep their minds fresh.

Rohit, who was struggling to hit the ground running finally managed to break the jinx by scoring a match-winning century at Port Elizabeth in the fifth ODI to hand India their first series win.

This tour has been memorable one for Chahal, who scalped 16 wickets in the recently concluded ODI series.

With only two more T20Is left to be play, Kohli and his boys will aim for clean sweep to cap off the most successful tour yet of South Africa.
