Opening India's batting after his side chose to bat, Dhawan was aggressive from the word go.

Having Virat Kohli for company further bolstered Dhawan's confidence. The two Delhi players had put on 129 in the match against Pakistan. Against South Africa, it was an encore of sorts.

Dhawan managed to complete his 13th ODI ton from 70 balls. The fifty was only a sign of bigger and better things to come.

The south-paw moved to top-gear once he completed his half-century and his strike rate soon crossed the 100 mark. Although dropped on 54 by a diving Hashim Amla at gully, Dhawan's batting was otherwise flawless as he targeted spin and dispatched Imran Tahir for several fours.

Dhawan would eventually score 137 - a knock that helped India post 307/7.
