I had a chat with him and asked him 'What do you do, because you play just one format?’, and he said, ‘I live in London now’. He has great facilities at Lord’s, at Surrey, and he goes to practice too. There’s a trainer he works with. I can’t remember. But he’s always well prepared." Steyn added: "When you look at him, he’s in tip-top condition all the time, mentally he is super strong. He’s played the game for so long – 51 ODI hundreds before this one. So he’s well aware of his game; how he goes about scoring his runs. He comes in, joins the team, and is fully committed. And then you see such kind of performances. That is what true professionals do." Kohli's form has been the major talking point in this series. He scored back-to-back hundreds in Ranchi and Raipur, showing why he remains one of India's most reliable players in ODI cricket.

Kohli's New Attacking Approach Impresses Fans Virat Kohli's scores in the first two ODIs against South Africa were: 135 - Ranchi (30 Nov 2025) 102 - Raipur (3 Dec 2025) His changed batting approach has not gone unnoticed by fans and onlookers. Unlike the earlier trend when he would take ample time before accelerating, Kohli has been attacking right from the beginning of his innings. The quick scoring style of Kohli helped India in getting off to a flying start in both matches. Having scored two hundreds in the series so far, fans will be expecting Kohli to carry the same form in the third ODI at Vizag and complete a rare hat-trick of hundreds. His strong start is what the team will look forward to in order to seal the series.
