US EditionIND vs SA: Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad Set New Record During 2nd ODI in Raipur
Virat Kohli scored his 84th international century and 40th at home, sharing a 195-run partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad in the second ODI against South Africa.
- At Raipur, Virat Kohli scored his 84th international century at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, marking his second consecutive century against South Africa.
- Ahead of the series, debates over Kohli's future included extensive discussion, and only Sachin Tendulkar stands ahead, so continued play could let Virat Kohli challenge that mark.
- Kohli's quick 90-ball century came after a 195-run partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored 135 off 120 in the previous game.
- India planned to exploit the last 10 overs to near 400, promoting KL Rahul to number five, while Virat Kohli's century marked his 40th international hundred at home.
- If Kohli stays available through 2027, his recent form reduces doubts and gives him the opportunity to chase Sachin Tendulkar's ODI World Cup 2027 records.
