Kallis made 104 off 94 balls while De Villiers hit 102 off 59 balls to record the seventh fastest ODI century in South Africa’s total of 365-2, the team’s highest against India.
India briefly threatened but was bowled out for 275 in 44.3 overs after opening bowlers Dale Steyn claimed 3-37 and Lonwabo Tsotsobe 3-58. Virat Kohli top-scored with 57.
“The wicket turned out to be a lot better than we thought. It proved if you get a good start, you can cash in on the death overs,” Kallis said. “A.B.’s knock was special and got us from 300 to 360.”
South Africa lost the first ODI by one run at Jaipur before Tendulkar’s record double century earned India a 153-run win Wednesday at Gwalior.
India missed the rested opening pair of Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, struggling as wickets fell with regular intervals.
Steyn’s two wickets in his return spell took the steam out of India. The South African fast bowler had captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on 9 caught by wicketkeeper Mark Bouchwer, as was Kohli.
Boucher should have finished with five catches in the match after television replays clearly showed Yusuf Pathan on 5 had got a big deflection down the leg side but the ‘keeper was denied by Indian umpire Sanjay Hazare.
Earlier, in-form Hashim Amla made 87 and Loots Bosman 68 to give South Africa a launching pad after Kallis won the toss and elected to bat.
Amla and Bosman combined for a 113-South Africa to its best ever total in an ODI against India.
Jadeja took 1-53 and Pathan 1-66 with Sreesanth claiming 0-83, Mithun 0-63 and Tyagi 0-59.
“It was a difficult score to chase as the wicket was on a slow side,” Dhoni said. “We didn’t got the ideal sort of start but they bowled really well.”
