In the third ODI match against Team India, South Africa's Quinton de Kock played a knock of 106 runs. He faced just 89 deliveries and smashed eight boundaries and six maximums at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

With this, he became the seventh South African batsman to enter the elite list of players to complete 13,000 runs in the One-Day Internationals (ODIs).

Currently, Quinton has accumulated 13,088 runs in 311 ODI appearances for South Africa. He has an average of 40.24 and a strike rate of 93.71. The left-hander has a total of 30 tons and 70 half-centuries, with a top score of 178 runs.

With this century, his conversion rate from 50s to 100s in ODIs has risen to 41.81 per cent, more than Indian ODI maestro Virat Kohli (41.40 per cent).

Also, he has levelled with Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara for the joint-most-highest centuries as a designated wicketkeeper-batter, with 23 tons each. The South African has also levelled with iconic Sri Lankan cricketer, Sanath Jayasuriya, for the joint-most centuries against Team India in ODIs.

In just 23 innings, the 32-year-old has achieved his seventh century against the "Men in Blue", as compared to Jayasuriya, who has these seven centuries in 85 innings.

The Johannesburg-born cricketer also joined the likes of legendary Sachin Tendulkar (seven centuries in the UAE), Saeed Anwar (seven centuries in the UAE), AB de Villiers (seven centuries in India), and Rohit Sharma (seven centuries in England) for the most ODI centuries in an away country by a batsman.

This was de Kock's seventh ton in India.

Riding on his knock, the Proteas reached the score of 270 runs in 47.5 overs against the KL Rahul-led men.

Fellow opening batsman, Ryan Rickelton, departed on a four-ball duck.

Skipper Temba Bavuma missed his well-deserved half-century by just two runs. He scored 48 runs in 67 balls, including five boundaries. Matthew Breetzke accumulated 24 runs off 23 balls, including two maximums. Aiden Markram scored one run in three balls, and Dewald Brevis returned to the pavilion on 29 runs off 29 balls, including two boundaries and a maximum. Facing 15 balls, Marco Jansen scored 17 runs, with the help of two boundaries.

Corbin Bosch managed to score nine runs in 12 balls. Lungi Ngidi scored just one run after facing 10 balls, whereas Ottniel Baartman departed after scoring three runs in seven balls. Keshav Maharaj stayed unbeaten on 20 runs in 29 balls, with the help of two boundaries.
