With this magnificent century, Kohli celebrated his maiden hundred on South African soil and also equalled Sourav Ganguly’s record of most ODI hundred as Indian captain, Both now have 11 centuries, with Kohli reaching the milestone in 41 innings as compared to Ganguly’s 142 innings. Out of his 33 ODI hundreds, 14 have come at home, 15 playing away, while 4 have been at neutral venues.
