A vintage Virat Kohli knock that saw the Indian batting great notch up his 53rd ODI century and a maiden one-day ton by Ruturaj Gaikwad helped India post 358/5 in 50 overs against South Africa in the 2nd one-dayer of the series at Raipur.
While Kholi reached to yet anaother one-day century — reaching to his 53rd three-figures score in one-dayers — after his ton in the first ODI at Ranchi, Ruturaj Gaikwad slammed his maiden century in one-dayers as the duo notched up a 195-run partnership for the third wicket.
While Kohli made a 93-ball 102, Gaikwad slammed a breezy 105 off 83 balls.
King Kohli’s knock was laced with 7 boundaries and 2 sixes, Gaikwad hit 12 hits to the fence and 2 over it to give the Men in Blue a solid foundation for the big score.
Skipper KL Rahul remained unbeaten on 64 and Jadeja was not out on 24.
Earlier in the afternoon, South African skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to field first.
