Since that loss in March 2019 till the day before the Raipur ODI, Kohli compiled 11 more ODI tons in winning cause, tallying 2,834 runs in 55 innings at a remarkable average of 67.47.
For years, whenever Virat Kohli scored an ODI century, it often guaranteed a win for India, but that trend came to an end on Wednesday in Ranchi against South Africa. Kohli registered his second consecutive hundred in the format, amassing 102 runs to help India post 358. However, the Proteas displayed remarkable composure and chased down the massive target, ending India’s seven-year run of victories in matches where Kohli had reached the three-digit mark.
India didn’t lose an ODI when Kohli scored a hundred since March 2019, when Australia got the better of them in Ranchi. Kohli’s 123 went in vain in that game.
