    India posted a 350-run target for South Africa to chase in Ranchi during the first clash of their three-match One Day International (ODI) series.

    Much of it was thanks to Virat Kohli, who recorded his 52nd century in the format, and made 135 runs off 120 deliveries overall.

    Interestingly, this inning not only helped the Men in Blue, but apparently also assisted the ticket sales of the third India vs South Africa ODI, which will be held in Vizag (Visakhapatnam).

    According to a report by The Indian Express, initial ticket sales for the IND vs SA 3rd ODI were unimpressive, but sky-rocketed after Kohli's ton in Ranchi.

    IND vs SA 3rd ODI: How Kohli Helped Ticket Sales

    Y Venkatesh from the Andhra Cricket Association’s Media and Operations team was quoted stating this in The Indian Express' report:

    "The first phase of tickets went on sale on November 28. The response wasn’t good. But a day before the second phase went on sale, Kohli scored that hundred at Ranchi. That changed everything."

    "All of us know he has an outstanding record here… so when the second and third phase tickets went online, they vanished in minutes." he continued.

    After the hundred in Ranchi, Virat Kohli scored another ton in Raipur, during the second One Day fixture between India and South Africa. 

    Ruturaj Gaikwad also recorded his maiden international century in the format on that day.

    Unfortunately, they were in vain, as the Proteas chased down the 359-run target successfully with 4 wickets in hand. 

    The Vizag clash is now the series decider, and given the competitive nature of both teams, can be expected to be an intense face-off.
