WATCH: KAGISO RABADA'S THUNDERBOLT YORKER BREAKS SHIKHAR DHAWAN'S BAT

Indian fans roared to cheer after team India defeated South Africa in their opening encounter of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019. During yesterday's match, fans witness many intense moments as the players from both the sides gave their all on the pitch.

One moment that shocked all fans was when, South Africa's pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada, who looked in destructive mode with the ball, bowled a thunderbolt to Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan in the fourth over of the match which broke the left-hander's bat.

Dhawan was left amused with the delivery as he smiled back at Rabada before being handed the broken piece of his bat by South African wicket-keeper Quinton de Koc.

Rabada, was phenomenal with the ball finishing with figures of 2/39 in his 10 overs. Talking about the Indian team, Dhawan's performance didn't affect the result of the game as India won the match comfortably after chasing down the target of 228 runs with 15 balls to spare.

Rohit Sharma was the top-scorer with his brilliant 23rd ODI century en-route to his knock of 122 runs in 144 balls.
