IND v SA 2025: India Announced ODI Squad For South Africa

Due to regular captain Shubman Gill's neck injury, KL Rahul has been selected as the stand-in captain of India's ODI team for the upcoming three-match series against South Africa. 

The BCCI announced the team on November 23, announcing the series will take off on November 30 in Ranchi, followed by matches in Raipur (December 3) and Visakhapatnam (December 6). Vice-captain Rishabh Pant has been appointed.

Gill And Iyer Out

Injuries caused the change at the top: regular vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is out due to a rib injury, and Gill is out owing to a neck problem.

India's 15-man team, which includes returning players Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja in plus seasoned players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, combines youth and experience.

Dhruv Jurel retains his spot despite Pant's

Pant has been moved to the side, while Dhruv Jurel keeps his position. With the return of senior pro Jadeja, Axar, who was selected as the first-choice left-arm spinner for the Australia trip, was unable to maintain his position.
