The Indian team is set to play a 3-match ODI series against South Africa starting 30th November in Ranchi. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma back in action, the excitement amongst the fans is sky rocketed. The 3-match ODI series will act as a preparation ahead of the ODI World Cup 2027. After losing the 2-match Test series against South Africa, the Indian team will look to bounce back and redeem themselves in the one-day format.
Virat Kohli has already reached Ranchi and has started off with his preparations ahead of the ODI series. While Rohit Sharma is practicing hard in the Mumbai nets. Further, the likes of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja return to the ODI set up after latter missing the last series and the former not being picked for any
ODI series before this one.
With Shubman Gill missing the ODI series, it will be a great opportunity for KL Rahul to show his captaincy skills while a good opportunity for Yashasvi Jaiswal to cement his spot in the side. The fouth spot concundrum will continue to haunt the Indian team with Shreyas Iyer missing out with an injury.
It will be interesting to see if Nitish Kumar Reddy and Tilak Verma can grab the opportunity and fill in the shoes of Hardik Pandya and Shreyas Iyer.
Here's the predicted 11 for the ODI series vs South Africa
Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana.
