Virat Kohli and Co opened their World Cup campaign with a six-wicket win over injury-depleted South Africa. Rohit Sharma made the most of an early reprieve to post an unbeaten 122 to finish the match for India. He was also dropped on 107 before India surpassed the victory target of 228 with 15 balls to spare, consigning South Africa to a third straight defeat.
The pick from India's bowling attack was Yuzvendra Chahal, who picked up four vital wickets. Jasprit Bumrah was also a major reason behind India's victory as he scalped the wickets of Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock in the initial overs.
