The 30-year-old left-handed opener went to his latest century in 101 balls, including six fours and four sixes.

South Africa had briefly been in trouble at 36-2 after winning the toss at the Wankhede Stadium.

But De Kock's third-wicket stand of 131 with stand-in captain Aiden Markram (60) turned the tide in favour of the Proteas.

De Kock's latest century followed scores of 100 and 109 during in-form South Africa's opening two matches against Sri Lanka and Australia respectively.

It was also his 20th hundred in 150 one-day internationals.
