Virat Kohli scored his 52nd ODI century, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most centuries in a single format, during India’s match against South Africa in Ranchi on November 30, 2025. His 135 off 120 balls, including 11 fours and seven sixes, anchored a 136-run partnership with Rohit Sharma and helped India post 350. The innings marked Kohli’s sixth ODI century against South Africa and his 59th fifty-plus score in India, both new records. The milestone solidified his status as the leading ODI run-scorer with 14,390 runs in 306 matches. A fan breach during the innings raised safety concerns.
