Kohli stuns all his critics
After losing the toss and being put into bat, Team India had a shaky start. Yashasvi Jaiswal fell early for 18 runs. However, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma took charge, putting the Proteas bowlers under pressure.
Together, they added 136 runs for the second wicket. Kohli reached his fifty in just 47 balls and, after that, accelerated his innings, bringing up his 83rd international century in just 100 balls. His form was ferocious and his dominance on the pitch unquestionable.
Kohli dismissed for 135
In the 42nd over, Kohli was dismissed by Burger after making a brilliant 135 runs off 120 balls which included 11 fours and 7 sixes.
