Virat Kohli has scored his 53rd ODI century, playing in the second India vs South Africa 50-over fixture of the three-match bilateral series.
With this inning, he has broken his own record for most ODI tons in history, going four centuries clear of the great Sachin Tendulkar, who is at the second spot with 49 100s.
Kohli hit the figure after facing 90 balls today, reaching it through a combination of regular strike rotation and boundary-hitting.
