IND vs SA 1st ODI
IND vs SA 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and South Africa begins today, and Ranchi is ready for a packed Sunday. After a disappointing 0–2 loss in the Test series, India are desperate to bounce back and restore pride. Despite missing a few regular names, the Men in Blue will rely heavily on senior one-format giants Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to guide the side in the 50-over format.

KL Rahul will captain the team in the absence of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, and today might finally mark Yashasvi Jaiswal’s much-awaited ODI debut. Fans will also be watching closely to see who gets the nod between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Varma.

India vs South Africa ODI: Predicted Playing XI

India Squad:

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul (Captain & Wicket-keeper), Rishabh Pant (Wicket-keeper), Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Dhruv Jurel


Player to watch – Virat Kohli

Ranchi has been a happy hunting ground for Kohli. He has scored two centuries in four innings at this venue. He found some runs in his last ODI in Australia and will be keen to settle in early against a sharp South African pace attack.

South Africa XI:

Quinton de Kock (wk), Ryan Rickelton, Temba Bavuma (c), Aiden Markram, Matthew Breetzke, Dewald Brevis, Corbin Bosch, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Prenalen Subrayen

Player to watch – Quinton de Kock

De Kock is back in form after reversing his ODI retirement, scoring three consecutive fifties including a century earlier this month. His record against India makes him one of the biggest threats today.
