Stats - Kohli goes on a six-hitting spree, Jaiswal joins all-format centurion club

271 - The target India chased in the third ODI against South Africa in Visakhapatnam. It is the second-highest target which they successfully chased in ODIs by losing only one wicket. The highest is 360 against Australia in Jaipur in 2013. Overall, this is the sixth-highest target chased in ODIs for a nine- or ten-wicket win.

9 - India's nine-wicket win is their joint-biggest against South Africa. They had beaten South Africa with a similar margin in 2018 in Centurion, chasing 119. This was only the ninth instance of South Africa losing a men's ODI by nine or more wickets, and Saturday's target of 271 is by far the highest among them.

3 - Consecutive bilateral ODI series wins for India against South Africa, the first time they have managed to do so. India won their previous two series against South Africa - at home in 2022 and away in 2023 - also by a 2-1 margin.

6 - Yashasvi Jaiswal is the sixth Indian man to score a hundred in all three formats. Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill are the others. Jaiswal needed four innings to score his maiden century in ODIs. Only two Indian men scored theirs earlier: Rahul on his debut and Manish Pandey in his third innings, while Kedar Jadhav also scored a ton in his fourth outing.

7 - Hundreds by Quinton de Kock in ODIs against India, the joint-most for any batter, alongside Sanath Jayasuriya. It was also his seventh ODI century in India, the joint-most by any visiting batter, equalling AB de Villiers. Those are also the joint-most by a batter away from home - Sachin Tendular and Saeed Anwar in the UAE, and Rohit in England also have seven ODI centuries apiece. De Kock now has 23 hundreds in 161 innings in ODIs; only two players got there in fewer innings - Hashim Amla (132) and Kohli (157). De Kock also levelled de Villiers for most ODI hundreds by a non-Asian batter in Asia, as they both have ten.

12 - Sixes by Kohli in this ODI series, the most for him in a series or tournament. The previous most he had hit was nine sixes in a three-match series against Sri Lanka in 2023, and also in the 2023 World Cup.

5013 - Runs scored by Rohit in ODIs on Indian soil. He is only the fifth batter to score 5000-plus runs in a country. Tendulkar and Kohli achieved this feat in India before him, while Ricky Ponting (in Australia) and Jacques Kallis (in South Africa) are the others.

155 - The opening partnership between Jaiswal and Rohit was the second-highest for India against South Africa in men's ODIs. The highest is 193 between Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly in Johannesburg in 2001.

1261 - Runs by Rohit in bilateral ODI series deciders are the most by any batter. Kohli is second, with 1235, while de Kock stands fourth in the list, with 963. De Kock's hundred on Saturday was his fourth in deciders, equal with Rohit, and only behind de Villiers, who has five.

2 - Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav are only the second Indian pair to claim four-plus wickets in a men's ODI at home. Ajit Agarkar (four) and Ganguly (five) were the first to do so, against Zimbabwe in Kanpur in 2000.

11 - Kuldeep's four-plus wicket hauls in ODIs, the most for an Indian spinner in men's ODIs, going past Anil Kumble (10). Five of those have come against South Africa, joint-most, alongside Waqar Younis and Brett Lee.

9 - Bilateral ODI series in which Kohli has scored 300-plus runs, including the 302-run series against South Africa. The next best is five series apiece for Rohit and de Kock. This was the first time Kohli scored 300-plus runs in a three-match series. He is only the second Indian to score over 300 runs in a three-match series, after Shubman Gill's 360 against New Zealand in 2023.
