Ranchi, India: Star batsman Virat Kohli struck an attacking 135 to power India to 349-8 against South Africa in the first of three one-day internationals on Sunday.
Kohli's 120-ball knock and his 136-run stand for the second wicket with fellow stalwart Rohit Sharma (57) steered India to a challenging total in Ranchi.
The 37-year-old struck a boundary off Marco Jansen to raise his 52nd ODI century and lifted his bat to a raucous home crowd.
An Indian fan breached security and raced to the pitch to touch Kohli's feet before he was dragged away.
Kohli has the most ODI hundreds, with Indian great Sachin Tendulkar second with 49.
