It was time for celebrations in the Indian camp as India got off to a winning start in the ODI campaign. It was Kohli's 33rd ODI ton which helped India overhaul South Africa's total of 269 and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
The ODIs have presented a very different team under Virat Kohli, one which is positive and is ready to take challenges head-on. Their performance at Durban and their resounding victory is very much a first hand proof of it.
The cricketing fraternity celebrated an Indian win and Kohli's return to form. Here are some of the best tweets celebrating the occasion.
He is at is again .. The Greatest chaser the game has ever seen .. #Fact #SAvIND @imVkohli

Was a matter of time before Kohli got that century in South Africa. This has been an innings of total command. Absolute one-day perfection

As clinical as it gets. This is not just a victory but a statement. Kohli and Rahane were outstanding. #INDvSA

Congratulations India on a very comprehensive victory. While Kohli and Rahane were outstanding, Chahal and Kuldeep ‘s spell was a big difference as well. #INDvSA
