India vs South Africa Live Score 1st ODI: IND (62/1 in 8 ov), Rohit, Kohli finding their groove in Ranchi

Helmet off. Bat raised. A kiss on the ring. And there it is — 100 next to the name Virat Kohli* flashing bright on the Ranchi scoreboard.

The crowd doesn’t just roar; it erupts. Ranchi loves their King, and the King clearly loves Ranchi back — this is his 52nd ODI ton, and already his third on this very ground. Some people collect stamps. Kohli collects centuries here.

It took him 102 balls, steady at first, inevitable later. And of course, the final touch? A boundary. Because when Kohli writes a script, he prefers to sign it with style.

Then came a bit of chaos. A pitch invader rushed to Kohli’s feet mid-celebration, only for security to grab him instantly. Kohli stepped in, asked them to relax, and even lifted the fan up himself.

Class, after all, doesn’t retire. And Virat Kohli seems in no hurry to, either.
