Rohit Sharma and Yuzvendra Chahal played a pertinent role in India's World Cup 2019 win over South Africa on Wednesday in Southampton. Chahal trapped the South African batsmen with his leg-spin, as he took four wickets for 51 runs in the match. Chahal's spell restricted the Proteas for a modest total of 227. The Indian batsmen opted for a cautious approach to the chase after Kagiso Rabada sent Shikhar Dhawan back to the pavilion when the team's total was just 13 runs. India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma then took the responsibility of finishing the match and remained unbeaten after scoring his 23rd One-day International (ODI) century. Apart from Rohit and Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah impressed with the ball by sending back both the South African openers cheaply.
