Death, taxes and Virat Kohli scoring a hundred; the only constants in life.
With just 205 on board, it seemed like a little strategy on part of the South African outfit to prevent Virat Kohli from scoring yet another century in this series.
But you present the genius with a challenge and he gleefully accepts.
Virat Kohli brought up his 35th ODI ton in 82 balls with India chasing just 205, taking India home in such dominating fashion.
Kohli’s genius was on display today, and has been all through the series, dishing out some exquisite shots to blow South Africa out of the match.
While it has been lovely to see Kohli racking up all these hundreds, it is frightening and amazing at the same time to see the that utter disdain with which he has been smashing the bowlers to all parts of the ground.
Twitter went crazy for Virat Kohli and saluted him for his performance:
It’s just another Virat performance. 35th ODI hundred 🙌🏻 @BCCI #INDvSA

This is Virat Kohli’s 30th century in ODIs in a winning cause. Only Sachin Tendulkar (33) has more. Kohli has not played even half of the matches Tendulkar played. #RSAvInd

Many congratulations to the Indian team on an incredible 5-1 series win. Virat Kohli was simply outstanding but the bowlers, especially Chahal and Kuldeep set it up for India with 33 wickets between them. #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/AYtCtUoLhE
