Virat Kohli was
colossal in making 160 not out from 159 balls — his second century of
the series — and led India to 303/6 after South Africa put the
tourists in to bat.
Virat Kohli's 160* Runs is the second highest score by an India Batsmen Vs South Africa in ODI's
Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 160 off 159 balls for the highest individual
score by an Indian batsman against South Africa in South Africa, going
past Sourav Ganguly’s 127 at Johannesburg in 2001. It was also Kohli’s
second-highest ODI score after 183 against Pakistan in 2012.
Virat Kohli's 160* Runs is the second highest score of his ODI career
Virat Kohli also became the second opposition captain to score 150 runs in
South Africa (the 1st being Ricky Ponting in 2006 at Johannesburg).
This is also his 54th International century where he will be the outright 5th-most prolific century-maker in international cricket behind Tendulkar (100), Ponting (71), Sangakkara (63) & Kallis (62).
He is currently level with Mahela Jayawardene and Hashim Amla.
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.
