Kris Srikkanth feels that Virat Kohli's epic century in the first ODI between India and South Africa at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Sunday, November 30, overshadowed significant contributions from KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.
While Kohli hogged the limelight with his 52nd ODI ton, Srikkanth opined that Rahul and Jadeja's 65-run stand off just 36 balls for the sixth wicket helped India finish strongly in the first innings and set up a formidable total of 349/8 after being asked to bat first by the Proteas.
Kohli departed in the 43rd over after scoring a majestic 135 off 120 balls. Rahul smashed 60 off just 56 balls, and Jadeja contributed with a 20-ball 32, giving the South African bowlers no respite whatsoever.
