• Virat Kohli is now joint-second alongside Ricky Ponting with 30 ODI tons to his name, only behind Sachin Tendulkar who leads the list with 49 centuries.
• Kohli has scored the most number of hundreds (30) after 186 innings, with Tendulkar sitting second at 16 followed by Ponting with 15 tons.

The Indians had a shaky start but Kohli anchored the innings with a 99-run partnership with Manish Pandey (36) for the third wicket. The Indian skipper put on 109 runs with Kedar Jadhav who scored a fine 63.
