Indian openers Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar both scored quickfire half-centuries and piled up century stand in the just 11 overs after Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat against South Africa in their Group B match of the cricket World Cup here today.
Sehwag scored a breezy 66-ball (12 x 4s) before being bowled out by Faf du Plessis.
India made one change to the side that won against the Netherlands, bringing in pacer Munaf Patel in place of the out of form Piyush Chawla.
For South Africa, Johan Botha has replaced injured spinner Imran Tahir
