IND Vs SA, 1st ODI: Kohli Century, Kuldeep's Four-fer Hands India Victory

Virat Kohli’s stupendous 52nd ODI hundred, Kuldeep Yadav’s left-arm wrist spin trickery and Harshit Rana’s pace laced India’s tense 17-run win over South Africa in the first match of the three-match series here on Sunday. India now lead the rubber 1-0, and the second match will be played at Raipur on Wednesday. Once Kohli’s 120-ball 135 (11x4, 7x6) guided India to a massive 349 for 8, South Africa failed to produce the Herculean batting effort needed for a tall chase, folding for 332.
