Virat Kohli, Indian skipper, and Quinton De Kock, South African wicket-keeper batsman, took 86 innings to score their 13th ODI century.
Pakistan won the first ODI against the Proteas thanks to Azam’s magnificent innings of 103 off 104 balls, placing them in a good position to win the series. Babar scored his second century as an ODI captain, the first coming against Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi.
