Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have once again proved why they are the backbone of the Indian cricket team. In their 392nd international match together, they stitched a powerful 136-run partnership from just 109 balls to help India post a massive 349 in 50 overs against South Africa in Ranchi.
Their combined effort proved decisive as India won the first ODI by 17 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series against South Africa in Ranchi on Sunday, November 30. Kohli dominated the innings with a brilliant 135, while Rohit played a quick and aggressive knock of 57.
