The last ODI series that team India played was against New Zealand where they had lost all the 3 matches and were outplayed by the opposition. But the Indian team at home is a completely different team and would like to lift up their spirits by winning this ODI series against South Africa.
Indian Cricket Team this time looks very strong as many players who were injured return back to the squad. Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from the injury and will be playing this ODI series. Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will be crucial in the batting for India. They will be backed up all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja and also Hardik Pandya returns to the squad after a long gap due to back injury. Bhuvneshwar is also fit and along with Bumrah and Navdeep Saini, the pace attack looks lethal. Spin duo Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will play an important role in bowling the middle overs.
On the other hand, South Africa would be very confident after their clinical performance against the Australian team in their last series as they whitewashed them 3-0 and would give a tough fight to the Indian team in this series.
South African Team under the captaincy of Quinton de Cock and batsmen like Faf du Plessis, Janneman Malan, and Temba Bavuma look good in the top order. David Miller and Henrich Klassen in the middle order along with all-rounders like JJ Smuts and Andile Phehlukwayo show the batting depth of the team. Keshav Maharaj will be the spinner along with the pace attack of Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje and Lutho Sipamla have been performing really well in the recent matches.
