Skipper Virat Kohli once again scored a century, his third of the series, while pacer Shardul Thakur scalped four for 52, his best figures in ODIs as India thrashed South Africa by eight wickets to seal the six-match series 5-1 here yesterday. Kohli, who scored his 35th ODI ton, stitched an unbeaten 126-run partnership with Ajinkya Rahane (34). Kohli, in particular, was the more aggressive, hitting 19 boundaries and two sixes during his 96-ball knock.
