Virat Kohli scored his 52nd ODI century, leading India against South Africa in Ranchi on November 30, 2025.

Virat Kohli slammed his 52nd ODI century, scoring 135 off 120 balls with 11 fours and seven sixes, in India’s opener against South Africa in Ranchi. Partnering with Rohit Sharma for a 136-run stand, India posted a strong total, with Sharma smashing his 352nd six to break Shahid Afridi’s record. Dewald Brevis pulled off a spectacular one-handed catch to dismiss Ruturaj Gaikwad, but Kohli’s milestone reinforced his status as the ODI century king, especially against South Africa.
