India posted a commanding 358/5 in 50 overs against South Africa in the second ODI at Raipur, thanks to brilliant centuries from Virat Kohli (102) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (105). Kohli anchored the innings with poise, reaching his 53rd ODI ton, while Ruturaj smashed a quick hundred off 77 balls, marking his maiden ODI century and cementing his reputation as a formidable middle-order batsman. After Rohit Sharma’s early dismissal, the 195-run stand between Kohli and Ruturaj revived India’s innings, putting South Africa under immense pressure for the chase. This massive total gives India a strong advantage in the series. (PC: X)
