Virat Kohli, the ODI master, arrived again in Raipur as he hit yet another century in the second game against South Africa. This time also, Kohli tumbled record books like always.

The second ODI began with India's 20th toss defeat as the hosts were asked to bat first. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma departed inside the first 10 overs.
