Unleashing the power: Virat Kohli's incredible 160 vs South Africa
In this video, we'll be looking at Virat Kohli's incredible 160 vs South Africa. This match was full of excitement and power, and we'll be dissecting it to see what went right and wrong for both teams.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli led India from the front in 3rd ODI to take a lead of 3-0 in the six-match ODI series.
Kohli, who won man of the match made 160 not out from 159 balls to lead his side to a 124-run victory said, “Well the tour didn’t start off too well but I knew I had to come in and get stuck in for us to compete in every game. Feels very good that it’s coming off in winning causes.”
Kohli talked about the turn and twist in India's innings. “It started off with good pace and bounce. The new ball was hitting the ball nicely with pace. It was a drastic change after the 30th over and we immediately chopped down our target from 330 to 280-290.”
There isn't a doubt over Virat Kohli's fitness. While there are many cricketers who have been off to brilliant starts in their careers, the Indian skipper stands tall above them all because of his extreme fitness levels. The 29-year-old showed once again the role fitness plays in the longevity of an innings as he amassed an unbeaten 160 off 159 balls against South Africa in Cape Town to guide Team India to another comfortable win. Kohli's 34th ODI ton earned him another special record which was previously held by Sourav Ganguly.
In his innings of 160 runs, Kohli bagged 12 fours and two sixes during his century. Which means 100 runs came via plain running on the ground while 60 runs came from boundaries. In his knock, Kohli scored 75 singles, 22 doubles and 3 from triples by running between the wickets and hence became the first Indian to do add a hundred in this manner.
Earlier, the Indian cricketer to get most runs via running was former skipper Sourav Ganguly who had 98 runs to his name. The left-handed batsman had done so during his innings of 130 runs against Sri Lanka in 1999 in Nagpur. Overall, five cricketers including Kohli have scored 100 or more runs by plain running in ODI cricket. (READ | Anushka shares another Insta story as Virat scores 34th ODI ton)
Kohli himself revealed how he was struggling (with cramps) to continue his innings towards the end (because of so much running) but was determined to take India to an on-par total. “I was struggling a bit while on 95 but I knew I had to carry on and pull the team out. These are times when you are tested and it is pleasing to go through it and do well,” he said in the post-match presentation.
Virat Kohli now has 12 hundreds (43 innings) as captain, one more than Sourav Ganguly (142 innings).
With the win, Team India now have a 3-0 unassailable lead in the series and are just one victory away from becoming the first Indian side to win an ODI series in South Africa.
