With the T20I series between India and South Africa tied at 1-1, the focus now shifts to the 50-over format. The first of the three ODIs, featuring the two strongest teams from the recently concluded World Cup, will kick off in Johannesburg on Sunday, December 17. Both teams will introduce some fresh faces as several senior players have been given a break from the white ball leg.
The side led by KL Rahul will be without the services of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami. However, Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson will make a comeback to the team after a long hiatus. On the other hand, the home team has decided to rest Temba Bavuma, allowing Aiden Markram to continue leading the side.
