With hundreds in both games, Virat Kohli has maintained his record-breaking form. In the forthcoming third ODI, he is now poised to break more records.
Kohli has the chance to become the first Indian player to score three ODI hundreds in a row. As of right now, Kohli and Rohit have both achieved this feat once.

If Kohli scores another century, he’ll become the first player ever to hit four back-to-back ODI centuries against South Africa. He’d already scored one against them the last time they met in the 2023 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma just needs 120 more runs to overtake Jacques Kallis and move up to eighth place among the highest run-scorers in ODIs.
The final showdown in Vishakhapatnam will decide the series winner, with both teams having shown some powerful batting in the earlier matches.
