Tomorrow India vs South Africa 3rd ODI match will be played in Visakhapatnam. Before this match, Team India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Deutsche said that there may be a feeling of disappointment within the team, but Indian players know how to play well under pressure. Let us tell you that only the team that wins tomorrow’s match will be called the winner of the series. Right now both the teams have won one match each.

Before the India-South Africa third ODI match, Ryan ten Deutsche said, “When the results start going against you and the performance level starts falling, then naturally there is a feeling of disappointment. But this team is used to playing under pressure. Pressure never leaves this team. The pressure of the decisive match in the bilateral series will be different and our focus will be on performing better and making good scores and chasing the target.”

Ryan ten Deutsche, coming from Netherlands, also said that dew has proved to be a big factor in the last two matches. Now Dew can play an important role in the third ODI also.

Regarding dew, Ryan ten Deutsche said, “There is a lot of dew here. We have no control over this thing and we have to adapt to the conditions. The boundaries here are small and it is a high-scoring ground.”

The ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam is known for high-scoring matches. Till now, the biggest score in ODI cricket history is 387 runs, which was made by Team India against West Indies in 2019. In the history of ODI cricket, more than 400 scores have been scored here in four overs, out of which Team India has done this thrice. Since 2018, Team India has scored more than 350 here thrice.

Last Wednesday, the Indian team lost the second ODI by 4 wickets. Team India had scored 358 runs while playing first, but South Africa had set a new record by successfully chasing the target. Now the series is tied at one each, and the series winner will be decided in the last ODI on 6 December. Now former cricketer Irfan Pathan has raised questions on the performance of Ravindra Jadeja.

The Indian team had scored 358 runs in the second ODI match. Actually, at one time a score of 400 runs seemed possible for Team India, but in the last 10 overs the team could score only 74 runs. Jadeja played an innings of 24 runs in 27 balls in the second ODI. Irfan Pathan has criticized this innings of Jadeja.

Irfan Pathan said on his YouTube channel, “I saw a problem. Ravindra Jadeja’s innings, in which he scored 24 runs in 27 balls, seemed very slow. During the commentary, we were saying that this could cause loss to Team India and in the end, that is what happened. If you are in a strong position by scoring above 300 runs and everyone is playing at a strike rate of more than 100, while your strike rate is 88. It becomes clear that there was a lack of urgency in that innings, but Jadeja’s intention was disappointing.

Jadeja could hit only 2 fours in his innings of 24 runs, in which there was not a single six. The result was that the century innings of Virat Kohli (102 runs) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (105 runs) went in vain. Irfan Pathan also said that Jadeja’s inability to increase the pace of runs during the Indian innings proved disappointing for the Indian team.

KL Rahul will captain the Indian team in the ODI series against South Africa. According to a media report, Rahul has confirmed that he will bat at number 6 in the upcoming ODI series. Let us tell you that the regular captain of the ODI team, Shubman Gill is not a part of this series due to injury. In such a situation, the opening slot had become vacant, but Rahul says that he will bat at sixth position in the ODI team like before.

KL Rahul was earlier seen batting at the sixth position in the ODI series against Australia and before that also in the Champions Trophy 2025. According to RevSportz, KL Rahul said, “I will bat in the same order, at number 6. We will try to play spin bowling better.”

KL Rahul opens in Test matches, but in ODI matches he has established himself well in the middle order. At number six, Rahul’s ODI average is more than 40. However, he has not been able to score even a single fifty or century in this sequence.

Rohit-Jaiswal will open

It has not been confirmed yet, but in the absence of Shubman Gill, it is almost certain that Yashasvi Jaiswal will come to open with Rohit Sharma. Whereas number-3 is already with Virat Kohli. The absence of vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is also raising big questions regarding number-4. It is possible that Rishabh Pant will play in this order. Since Rahul has said that he will bat at number 6, there can be a place for Rituraj Gaikwad in the middle order.

Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar can play 2 spin bowling all-rounders, while Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana can handle the burden of fast bowling. Kuldeep Yadav can play the role of main spinner.

India’s ODI squad: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, KL Rahul (captain), Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Rituraj Gaikwad, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Dhruv Jurel.

Virat Kohli has been visiting MS Dhoni’s house earlier also to meet him. Apart from Virat Kohli, other players of the Indian team have also reached Dhoni’s house.

Virat will prepare for the first ODI

After an emotional meeting with MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli will now start preparing for the first ODI against South Africa on 30 November. The three-match ODI series will be very important for both the teams. Because Team India would like to maintain its dominance on its home ground. At the same time, the South African team is also ready to present a strong challenge. At present, a tremendous atmosphere of cricket is being seen in Ranchi and all eyes are on the match to be held on 30th November.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had announced the 15-member Indian squad for the South Africa ODI series on 23 November. India vs South Africa ODI series will be played from 30 November-6 December, in which Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer will not be there. Both these players are out of the team due to injury. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has started sweating in practice for the upcoming ODI series.

Rohit Sharma played his last match for Team India about a month ago. He stole the show by playing an unbeaten inning of 121 runs against Australia in Sydney. Now, to prepare for the home ODI series against South Africa, he has taken the help of Amit Dubey, the current physiotherapist of Mumbai Indians. Amit Dubey is a well-known name in Indian cricket.

Amit Dubey is working for Mumbai Indians since December 2022. He has also worked under BCCI from 2017-2020. Since the team’s regular captain Shubman Gill will not be playing in this series, there will be more burden on Rohit’s shoulders. KL Rahul will be captaining Team India, who will be supported by the experience of Rohit Sharma.

Even in the series against Australia, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli supported the new captain Shubman Gill a lot. Captain KL Rahul, selected for the series against South Africa, has more experience than Gill, but Rohit and Virat can definitely be seen contributing to the team.

Indian squad for South Africa series: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul (captain and wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana.

Now about 10 days are left for the start of India vs South Africa 3 match ODI series. BCCI has not announced the squad yet, while there is doubt over the playing of captain Shubman Gill. Gill was retired hurt in the Kolkata Test, there is news about him that he has been ruled out of the Guwahati Test also. Now the big question is that if Gill is out of the ODI series, then who will captain in his place? Because vice-captain Shreyas Iyer will also not be a part of this series.

Shubman Gill suffered neck pain in the first Test against South Africa, after which he had to be taken to the hospital. He did not return to the field again, India lost this test by 30 runs. It is reported that Gill has been ruled out of the second Test as well, although he reached Guwahati with the team on Wednesday. It is also considered difficult for him to play in the ODI series. Whereas the vice-captain of the ODI team, Shreyas Iyer is already away from cricket due to injury.

Who will be the captain?

There is every possibility that former captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be part of the ODI team against South Africa. Although the chances of him assuming the captaincy in Gill’s absence are slim. The names of the two contenders that are coming in right now are Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul.

KL Rahul kept wicket in the Champions Trophy, he strengthens the team’s batting in the middle order. He has also captained in 12 One Day International matches, out of which Team India won 8 matches and lost 4.

Rishabh Pant has captained the T20 International and IPL team, but he has not captained the ODI International. Because of this, there is a high possibility that if Shubman Gill is out of the ODI series, then KL Rahul can take over the command.
