Preview :
South Africa and India will take on each other in the 3 matches ODI series starting from Sunday. The preceding T20I series levelled 1-1 with visitors India winning the 3rd T20I by a massive 106 runs. It’s the first ODI assignment for both sides after the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. Aiden Markram will captain the South African side in the absence of Temba Bavuma whereas Lokesh Rahul will lead India.
South Africa had an excellent World Cup held in the subcontinent where they reached the Semi-Finals and are now ready to host India in the 3 matches ODI series. Aiden Markram has been given the responsibility to lead the side that includes new faces Ottniel Baartman, Mihlali Mpongwana, and Nandre Burger. They recall Tony de Zorzi, Wiaan Mulder, and Kyle Verreynne into the ODI squad. With their lead pacers Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, and Lungi Ngidi not available for selection for different reasons brings a good opportunity for Lizaad Williams, Ottniel Baartman, and Nandre Burger to prove their mark. Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi are their lead spinners. They bank heavily on Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen at the top of the order while their middle order is formed by Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller. They whitewashed India 3-0 when hosted them in ODIs in 2022.
India will be in a new avatar after a heart-wrenching defeat in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Final. With their key players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli requesting a break from Cricket, the Indian selectors have handed captaincy responsibilities to Lokesh Rahul who has led the side in 9 ODIs. Tamil Nadu batter Sai Sudharsan earned his maiden International call-up and Rajat Patidar is the other uncapped player in the squad. Sanju Samson has been given another opportunity to showcase his talent. The pace department looks relatively inexperienced having the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, and Avesh Khan. Yuzvendra Chahal got a surprise call-up after being dropped from the World Cup squad and he joins Kuldeep Yadav as a specialist spinner. Axar Patel and Washington Sundar are the all-rounders in the mix.
