Cricket-Kohli scores century as India edge South Africa by 17 runs in Ranchi thriller


Nov 30 (Reuters) - Virat Kohli's record-extending 52nd one-day international century laid the groundwork for India's 17-run win over South Africa on Sunday, getting the hosts off to a winning start in their three-match series after the visitors swept the tests last week.

Former captains Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have retired from tests and Twenty20 internationals, delighted the Ranchi crowd with a 136-run partnership for the second wicket, helping India set a target of 350 that got them the victory despite Corbin Bosch's heroic last-wicket stand for the visitors.
