India edged out South Africa by 17 runs in a thrilling opener in Ranchi to go 1-0 up in the series. Virat Kohli’s 52nd ODI century provided the backbone of India’s 349-run total, with vital support from Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who both struck fifties. After being put in to bat for the 19th straight ODI, India started strongly as Rohit and Kohli added a century stand, highlighted by Rohit’s new record for most ODI sixes.
