Virat Kohli smashed his 52nd ODI century in the first match against South Africa at Ranchi, scoring 135 runs with 11 fours and 7 sixes. Coming in after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s early dismissal, Kohli quickly found his rhythm and built a 136-run partnership with Rohit Sharma. His powerful innings helped India reach 349/8 in 50 overs. During celebrations, a fan ran onto the field to touch Kohli’s feet, but security escorted him away. This century is Kohli’s third at Ranchi, strengthening his strong record at the venue and inspiring fans with his stellar performance.
