Essentially, at the age of 26 Virat Kohli is already one of the greatest ODI batsmen of all time - and could easily end as the best. #IndvSA

There were contributions from Suresh Raina (53) and Ajinkya Rahane (45) as well, while Dale Steyn and Kagiso Rabada took three wickets each for the tourists.

South Africa went into the game 2-1 up, needing just one more win to secure the series, while India required at least one victory from the remaining two games to hold on to second place in the ICC's ODI rankings.
