Johannesburg, Feb. 10: India opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan hit a century and upstaged his captain, Virat Kohli, in the fourth one- day international against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium on Saturday. Dhawan made 109 in an Indian total of 289/ 7 after Kohli won the toss and decided to bat on a hard, true pitch. Kohli, the star of a series in which India hold an unbeatable 3- 0 lead, played another valuable innings, hitting 75 in a second wicket stand of 178 with Dhawan. His 83- ball innings took Kohli to 393 runs for a series.

It was the third successive big partnership between Dhawan and Kohli.

They put on an unbeaten 93 in chasing down a small target in the second match in Centurion and added 140 in setting up a win in the third match in Cape Town.

This time, though, it was the left- handed Dhawan who made the biggest contribution, hitting his 13th one- day international century in his 100th match in the format. India: R.
