Kohli was colossal to make 160 not out from 159 balls—his second century of the series—and lead India to 303-6 after South Africa put the tourists in to bat. South Africa started the series as the No. India captain Kohli, though, has been in consistently outstanding form on tour in South Africa, and his century was his second in the three one-day games against South Africa and his third in his last four ODIs. Those boundaries took India past 300 and improved Kohli’s strike rate to better than a run a ball. Prompted by that breakthrough, South Africa took five wickets for 96 runs to slow what was an Indian onslaught when Kohli and Dhawan were together.
