Virat Kohli Milestone: The Ranchi crowd witnessed the grand incarnation of King Kohli. Virat batted brilliantly, scoring the 52nd century of his ODI career. With this milestone, Kohli became the batsman with the most centuries in a single format. He took full advantage of South Africa’s formidable bowling attack.

Kohli appeared in sensational form right from the start, playing one powerful shot after another. He smashed a six to reach his 76th ODI half-century, leaving the opposition bowlers helpless. He also shared a century partnership for the second wicket with Rohit Sharma, further consolidating India’s innings.
