India vs SA 5th ODI: All the records
Sunday's remarkable landslide victory by the Proteas over India had the statisticians hard at work and the record books turned upside down. Here are the records that tumbled:
Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers all scored centuries which made it only the second time in ODI history that one side had provided three centurions – the previous occasion was also by the Proteas against the West Indies earlier this year when De Villiers, Hashim Amla and Rilee Rossouw all passed the three-figure mark.
· The South African total of 438/4 was the highest ever on the sub-continent. Remarkably no ODI at Wankhede between two full member countries had produced a total of even 300 previously
· Hashim Amla became the quickest player to score 6 000 ODI runs, 13 innings quicker than India’s Virat Kohli
· De Villiers scored an SA record 23rd ODI century
· De Kock became the quickest player to score 8 ODI centuries, beating an Amla record.
· SA’s margin of victory was their biggest ever over India
· SA’s 2nd and 3rd wicket partnerships of 154 and 211 were both ground records and the latter was also an SA record against India
