Virat Kohli and India's spinners hammered South Africa again on Wednesday in the latest episode of a one-sided ODI series, winning the third game by 124 runs to go 3-0 up with three to play.  Kohli was colossal to make 160 not out from 159 balls � his second century of the series � and lead India to 303-6 after South Africa put the tourists in to bat.  In a repeat of the first two games, South Africa couldn't deal with India spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, who took eight wickets between them at Newlands as the home team was bundled out for 179 in 40 overs.
