The Indian T20I side arrived in Raipur for the second ODI against South Africa after taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series with their nervy 17-run victory in the opening clash at the JSCA Cricket Stadium Complex in Ranchi, as the second encounter will take place at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur.
The players were spotted settling before the contest as a particular moment grabbed several eyeballs online. Virat Kohli was seen to be engaged in a serious-looking conversation with the selection Pragyan Ojha at the airport. That has sparked some questions around the social with the body language hinting at a serious exchange rather than casual small talk, triggering widespread speculation among the fans.

Kohli was in awesome form in Ranchi as he celebrated a feat that no one had achieved. He brought up his 52nd century in the ODI format, which is the most by any batter in a single format, going past Sachin Tendulkar’s 51 Test centuries. Kohli smashed 135 runs in 120 balls with the help of 11 boundaries and seven sixes.

Rohit Sharma also played his part for a fine knock of 57 runs in 51 balls and broke Shahid Afridi’s long-standing record for the most sixes in ODI history. The right-handed batter has now cracked up 352 sixes in the 50-over format, which has crossed Afridi’s previous record of 351 sixes.
Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana started well with the ball as they packed up the Proteas’ top order quite cheaply, which kept India ahead massively in the game. But later on, South Africa’s lower order smashed three fine and aggressive knocks with the bat to take the game deep.
India will look to seal the series in the second game in Raipur before moving to Vizag for the third contest. They didn’t put up a great performance in the two-match Test series, facing a 0-2 series defeat against the Rainbow Nation.
