India vs South Africa: Virat Kohli Raring To Go In ODIs, Posts Photos From Net Session

When he steps out to bat at Paarl in the first ODI, Kohli will be just a few runs away from surpassing two Indian legends in an elite list. Current head coach Rahul Dravid (1309 runs) and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly (1313 runs) are placed third and second respectively in the list of Indian batters with most runs against South Africa in ODIs. Kohli is currently fourth in the list with 1287 runs while the list is headed by the great Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 2001 runs against the Proteas in 57 matches.

Sachin in fact leads the overall list too and is followed by Ricky Ponting, who has 1879 runs against South Africa.
