Virat Kohli’s Consecutive Centuries: Star batter Virat Kohli’s incredible back-to-back centuries have created a massive wave of excitement among cricket fans. As a result, tickets for the 3rd ODI between India and South Africa in Visakhapatnam were sold out within minutes, marking one of the fastest ticket sales the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) has recorded in recent years.
Kohli has been in outstanding form throughout the ongoing ODI series. He opened the contest with a commanding 135 runs off 120 balls in Ranchi and followed it up with a fluent 102 off 93 deliveries in Raipur. His return to peak ODI form has energized fans across the country, especially with the series decider now lined up in Visakhapatnam.
Unprecedented Ticket Demand
According to ACA officials, the first phase of ticket sales saw a lukewarm response. However, the moment Kohli struck his century in the opening ODI, interest skyrocketed.
By the time he scored his second consecutive hundred, the remaining ticket phases were snapped up instantly.
Fans showed no hesitation despite ticket prices ranging from ₹1,200 to ₹18,000, rushing to secure their seats to watch the star batter in action.

The surge in demand is strongly linked to Kohli’s phenomenal record at the Visakhapatnam venue.
Across seven ODIs here, he boasts an extraordinary average of 97.83, which includes:
- Three centuries
- A 99-run innings
- A solid 65-run knock
This history has only strengthened fan expectations of another classic performance.
Decider Set for High Drama
With both teams winning one match each, the third ODI becomes the crucial series decider.
India edged out South Africa by 17 runs in Ranchi, while the visitors bounced back with a four-wicket victory in Raipur, chasing down a massive target of 359.
Despite the tight competition, the spotlight remains firmly on Virat Kohli, who is currently the highest run-scorer of the series with 237 runs. Fans are eager to see whether he can script history by scoring a third consecutive ODI century—a feat he has achieved once before in his career.
As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Visakhapatnam to witness whether Kohli’s red-hot form continues in the high-stakes decider.
