South Africa trounced Sri Lanka by 102 runs in their opening World Cup 2023 affair in Delhi. One of the spectators who lounged in Proteas’ glory at the near-capacity Arun Jaitley Stadium was none other than Kagiso Rabada’s father, Dr. Mpho Rabada. 

Kagiso, who claimed two wickets in the match, also landed the knockout punch to Sri Lanka to conclude their spirited run-chase. In a high-scoring contest, the speedster’s fiery pace enthralled one-and-all at the stadium, including his father who celebrated the occasion by sporting the South African team jersey in the stands.

The senior Rabada cheerfully interacted with several cricket fans present at the venue, including a number of Indians who had attended the game with a neutral perspective.

The following day, Mpho Rabada pretty much confirmed his second favorite team from the tournament. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he shared pictures of himself while sporting Team India’s jersey ahead of their World Cup 2023 opening clash against Australia.

In another post, he also extended his best wishes for the Indian team for their high-profile clash against the five-time winners. Taking to X, the senior Rabada wrote:

“Go Team India 🇮🇳 Go. All the best to 🇮🇳 World Cup 2023 🇮🇳 v 🇦🇺”
