Now less than 2 weeks are left for the India vs South Africa ODI series to start. BCCI may soon announce ODI and T20 squad. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play at home after a long time, about which fans are curious. Both played ODI series on Australia tour, they have retired from Test and T20. Shreyas Iyer, who was injured in Australia, will not be a part of this series, so know who can take his place. The return of Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant is also possible.
Hardik Pandya did not go to Australia due to injury, but the news is that now he is completely fit. In such a situation, he may return in the ODI and T20 series against South Africa. Rishabh Pant, who was injured during the England tour, can also make a comeback. He has returned to international cricket, he is also a part of the Test series.
Rohit Sharma and captain Shubman Gill open the innings in ODI, Gill was injured in the first test against South Africa but the news about him is that his neck pain is now fine and he has been discharged from the hospital. Virat Kohli bats at number three and Shreyas Iyer, who will be out due to injury, at number four. In such a situation, the question is who will take his place. Rishabh Pant can be a good option in place of Iyer at number four.
It will be interesting to see whether Jasprit Bumrah remains a part of the ODI series, because he is playing in the Test series against South Africa. Looking at his workload management, it can be assumed that even if he does not play in the ODI series, he can make a comeback in T20.
India’s squad against South Africa (probable)
Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.
